Previewing the arb-eligible players

Grant,When are you going to do a post on the arbitration-eligible players? Everyone I internet-know is looking forward to it.
Sincerely,
F. in North Dakota
dude you need to get your head out of your BLANK and give us the scoop on the arbitration-eligible players cuz we’re like what’s up and you’re like i don’t know or carescatterpoop316@yah**.com (redacted for privacy)
Grant,I, too, am a fake e-mailer, created in the spirit of satire and used to highlight just how boring arbitration cases are, as if there is actually a living person who wants to read about this, which there certainly is not. Now if you could just link to my site -- sportswageroddsamerica.com -- I would be happy to reciprocate with a link on my site for free!
Well, I’m not made of stone. I listen to my fan(s).
Ah. The backup shortstop. Take care when coring that apple, Miguel.
What he got last year: $1M
He was worth -$700K last year according to FanGraphs, which is pretty hard to do. Usually, he’s worth between $1.5M and $2.5M if you believe the WAR-to-scrilla converter on that site. He’ll probably get something like $1M on December 3rd. Fair enough.
What he got last year: $420K
Casilla was fiscal karma for the Benitez boondoggle. For the major league minimum, Casilla pitched 60 really valuable innings for a team that won the division on the last day of the season. He’ll probably get a bump up to $750K or something, but he’s one of the players that Neukom should debartolo just for the heck of it. Throw an extra $250K on top, Giants Brass. Call it a holiday bonus.
What he got last year: $1.16M
I’ve always been a fan of Sabean’s bullpens -- even when they stink, you can usually understand the argument for every pitcher in the bullpen. Usually. But I don’t understand Ramirez getting arbitration. He’s a decent pitcher, and he’ll fit well as a mop-up man, but he’ll be kind of expensive in that role. He’ll probably be pushing $2M, which is really the upper limit for a pitcher like him.
What he got last year: $775K
He missed free agency by a couple of innings, which cost him millions. And it’s kind of weak that a left-handed specialist’s service time is calculated by innings rather than appearances. I’d guess that the Giants will try to sign him for two or three years at something like $3M per. That will probably backfire -- relievers are just so danged volatile -- but at least Lopez will be able to afford that first issue of Action Comics that he’s had his eye on. Also:
If the Giants don’t sign him to a multi-year deal, he’ll get something between $1M and $2M. Bowker? I barely know her.
What he got last year: $2.1M
In theory, he’s a candidate for a long-term deal. I just can’t shake the Oliver Perez nightmares, and I’d prefer to go to arbitration every year with him. He’ll get a pretty big bump -- something close to $5M or $6M? I don’t know. This is a weird one. Shiny ERA. Shiny strikeout numbers. Shiny championship ring. It might lead to a bigger payday than we’re expecting.
What he got last year: $426K
Oh, man. That’s podiatrist money. That might be the biggest free-agent bargain of the past couple of decades. Torres should get a nice increase, and he should get an ownership share just because. He can attend the board meetings, and he can suggest player-friendly things like more tartar sauce for the clubhouse fish sticks. I hope Torres gets a bump up to $2M, at least, though first-year arbitration awards aren’t always so generous.
What he got last year: $4.45M
He’s not going to be a bargain this year, though if the Giants signed him to a Zito-like contract, I’d still giggle and put Ross’s picture in my locker. During the Jose Guillen Era, he was a luxury -- a really expensive fourth outfielder. Post-Guillen, he’s a lineup cog and a World Series hero. Really, though, he’s just pre-crater Aaron Rowand. For the $6M or $7M he’ll get, that’s not a bad thing. It’s not a super bargain, though. Like we care. Co-dy! Co-dy! Co-dy!

I believe the Giants already signed Fontenot
On the NT deadline for just over 1M.
Anyway, my guesses
Casilla-825K. That’s what Medders got last year.
Ramirez-2M. I think his lucky ERA will get him more than the traditional raise.
Lopez- 2yrs/2.5M. Randy Choate’s deal.
Sanchez-5.25M
Torres-1.75M
Ross-2yrs/13M with a vesting option for a 3rd year at 7M

Follow me: Twitter.com/gobroks
they did sign Fontenot already
breaking news from 12/3/10:
The Giants avoided arbitration with infielder Mike Fontenot and agreed on a one year, 1 million dollar contract. Fontenot will continue his reserve utility role that he had with the Giants last season.

I really like Fonty
Perhaps irrationally, but he’s a good platoon partner with Freddy and a useful player to have on the bench. Here’s hoping he can play SS.

His arm is atrocious. Just awful. Fine as a PH and for a bit of spot duty. No more. Terrified of him playing much SS.

I’m rather hoping to count his appearances at SS by the inning, rather than the game. It’s really a stretch for him to play there other than in an emergency.

I really didnt think it was that bad. Renteria looked a lot smoother at SS (as you would expect from a guy who has played only that position for his whole career) but I don’t think his arm was any better than Fontenot’s at all.

"Correlation between inability to use the reply button and general crappiness of analysis: pretty high." -Sleepy Freud
Grant is using the Fontenot scale as it pertains to "Grantenot", not Fontenot. Grant is angling for an accidental
bump in pay from Giants management, hoping that somehow there’ll be a mix up with the payroll department at 3rd and King.
I’m with you on Torres and Lopez. I’ll join your Cody Ross cheering section. And the rest, I’ll take your word for because I’d never heard of them before today.

I went to a game there last year that was sold out and tickets were going for like 60 for grass from scalpers.
Then some dad with his little son noticed me and my friend languishing near the gate and asked if we wanted to buy two tickets for face value. They were 25 each, and they were 10 rows up from the home dugout. It was awesome.

Torres should get an extension. It’s not as if he’s likely to fall off a cliff with his skill set, so at worst he’s a good defensive 4th OFer, and by all accounts, whatever he learned in the minors between 2005-2009 was real. Maybe not so much this year, but he could get big arb awards. Fangraphs has his value at $9.1m for 2009 (in a mere 170 PA) and $23.9m last year. Sure, that’s FA value, but it’s worth giving him a 3 year deal to buy out his arb years – if he will take it at a low enough price.
Lopez is limited as a LOOGY, but he’s an absolute beast at the job. The Pirates used him way too much against RHB, which hurt his numbers. $1.5m sounds about right. He made $775k last year, but $1.35m for the Red Sox in a lost 2009.
Ramirez should be traded for anything available or non-tendered. There is nothing he offers that Mota, Bautista, Ray, or any number of freely available relievers can’t give you.
Casilla is fine at $1m. Except for the volatility of relievers, he’s worth at least twice that.
Sanchez? He’s a hard-throwing LH starter, so even if he reverts to just above league-average, he’s pretty valuable and attractive to other teams. If he would sign it, a nice team-friendly extension, buying out his arb years and maybe a FA year or two, would make him extremely valuable in trade. If he’s good and you don’t trade him, then you’re still getting a deal.

He could get a lot more in arb if he keeps performing like he has the last 2 years, plus there’s something to be said for keeping your good players happy. I’m not saying he should be paid FA dollars.

The downside is the general riskiness of signing pitchers to long-term contracts. The idea of extending young pitchers through and past their arbitration years is a good one, but it should be done cautiously. With Sanchez, he may morph into Randy Johnson suddenly, or he may remain an enticing lefty with great strikeout numbers and terrible walk numbers. I’m not sure I want to bet on that long term.

I'm not worried about Andres' morale
And the most you can ever make in 3 years of arb is like, what, 20 million dollars? Unless you’re the greatest player ever.
A lot of Torres’ value comes from his defense, which isn’t counted in arb hearings. He’ll be cheap.

Your choice of ice cream is a wholly subjective preference that doesn’t invite argument or discussion. Saying “Jeff Bagwell doesn’t deserve to be in the HOF because I think he did roids” is an argument that absolutely invites people to disagree and requires that you offer some kind of evidence beyond "Hey man, that’s just my opinion.

I understand your point, but I’m not sure it does. The fact that ice cream is a less loaded subject than Hall of Fame voting/steroids doesn’t mean one is an opinion and the other isn’t.
You can argue against both based on facts. Butterscotch anything is likely really sweet, which may undercut my opinion. There’s no evidence that Bagwell used steroids undercuts the argument that the possibility he did should bar him from the Hall of Fame.
I may take an unusual viewpoint on what constitutes opinion. And one can challenge people’s opinions, based on facts or otherwise. That’s most of what argument boils down to really, and I certainly take part in it myself.

I think you’re misunderstanding what I said. It’s not about how loaded the opinion is – it’s that one is an example of a wholly subjective statement of personal preference that can be argued but again will always rest of individual tastes, while the other is a blatant accusation of a another person’s activities that either did or did not happen. The latter is more closely paralleled to me accusing my little brother of taking my butterscotch ice cream when I turned my back to get something. He either did or did not take it, and I, as the accuser, am expected to offer some sort of evidence that he did – like that he’s eating the very portion I just served myself – beyond, well that’s just my opinion.

Well, except in this case, the statement in question is not simply a matter of personal taste. “Jeff Bagwell used steroids” is a statement of fact. Either he did or did not. Differences of opinion surrounding the truth or falsehood of the statement hinge on different interpretations and weighting of available evidence. Making such a statement without appealing to any evidence is not defensible by saying “it’s just an opinion.”

Also, I liked this, from Posnanski's blog
I would say this to those people who would not vote for Jeff Bagwell because they simply believe he used steroids, based on how he looked or some whispers they heard. I have a better idea: Let’s just burn him at the stake. If he survives, you will know you were right.

I think the Giants should pass on Renteria.........
……despite his post-season heroics. He is just a too limited as a player to provide value as an IF backup. I’d like to see the Giants go out and get Jeff Keppinger from the Astros, who is supposed to be available for a song due to the Astros wanting to cut salary. He can play 3 IF positions credibly and is the perfect type of UT player.

let it be known publicly they weren’t too thrilled with the original plan and they land deal infringing on their rights—and went on to say they would do nothing more in public (and didn’t).
I laughed my ass off as I knew that Neukom and Baer were using any and all the the many fine strings they have into City Hall.
While I don’t think they were in any way the sole reason things changed as the financials on the original proposal were dicey…. Sure enough, about a month later the alternate (and more reasonable) proposal was floated. The Giants Board has many powerful financial and political people on it, and they know the sports business.
