Assuming it goes all the way to arbitration.

I'm not sure how the players in the second year of arbitration work off from their prior year's base salary or if the current economy is any factor or if they are just use prior year salary data and tacking on inflation. So any help is appreciated. My guesstimates:

Bush - $3.25M
McClung - $1.5M
Fielder - $8.5M
Weeks - $2.50M
Hart - $4.65M

Is Hart in the same year as Hardy? If so I would be surprised if he got the money Hardy did. Maybe Corey's second half collapse is clouding my judgment. But Hardy plays a premiere fielding position and put up better numbers than Hart last year in most categories.

Fielder is way too high. If he gets more than $7m it will be surprising. He isn't Miquel Cabrerra or Ryan Howard
I agree he isn't worth that much and I know he isn't Ryan Howard, but that would definitely be a comparable they use. It is one year later and baseball inflation was probably 10% last year. How do the Brewers protect themselves from the Howard verdict? How low do you dare go and feel you will still win? If the Brewers go $7M and Fielder goes $9M who is going to win?

I know he isn't Ryan Howard, but it is one year later and baseball inflation was probably 10% last year.

 

Basically how the Arby's process works -- is that one side submits a number and the player's side submits a number, and then the Arbysnator, picks one number or the other, not some sort of midway point.

 

So, if this happened

 

Prince offer: $14M

DM offer: $1M

 

The Arbysnator would award Arby's to Prince, not because Prince's number is a fair reasonable figure, but because it is more reasonable than DM's.

 

To some degree, I believe that is what happened with Ryan Howard -- It was not that some Arbysnator thought that Howard was a $10M player, rather $10M was more reasonable than what the Phillies put on the table.

 

So in conclusion, I really don't think it is apt to look at Howard's situation as some sort of benchmark.
