Official Arbitration Figures

[Pedantic]

trev gave this link to me, and it was pretty interesting, so I thought I'd pass it on. There are player and club proposals, as well as terms of contracts agreed to before going to arbitration.

its amazing how close some of these figures are
some of these will get signed before they even have the hearing though ...

[Pogotheostrich]

I really don't see all of these going to arbitration.
But if they did this is who I see winning.

The one I really expect to deal is A-Ram. I don't think he has a chance to win his arbitration case. Plus he and the Cubs are in discussions for a multi-year deal.

[trevisc]

I can't believe how close some of those are too. Like :
Lohse, Kyle MIN 395000 $2.15M $2.4M

Does Lohse really think he's worth the extra 250,000? He should just take the offer and smile all the way to the bank.

[slomo007]

I realize Minnesota is cheap...but Santana is worth every penny of what he is asking for (I would have asked for much more). $6.8M for a Cy Young winner is not too shabby.

[Pogotheostrich]

2 for 2 so far.

[AKhomebrewer]

Lohse, Kyle MIN 395000 $2.15M $2.4M Player Player

9-13 record = $2.4 million
5.34 ERA = $2.4 million
.305 BAA = $2.4 million
111/76 K/BB = $2.4 million
1.63 WHIP = $2.4 million

Winning arbitration based on real 'skill' instead of fantasy worth = priceless.

3 for 3 and I think everyone else signed.

[wrveres]

IS that it?

Only three Arbitration cases this year?

[Knights]

Yep... that's it, that's all. I didn't believe it at first either.
