Eight Red Sox Arbitration Eligible 11.13.09 at 7:38 pm ET
By Alex Speier

Closer Jonathan Papelbon heads the list of eight Red Sox players who are under team control for next year but are eligible for salary arbitration. Players who fall into that category have fewer than six years of major-league service time but more than three years.

There is a separate group of arbitration-eligible players, known as Super-2s, who rank among the top 17 percent of service time for players with between two and three years of service time and who spent at least 86 days in the majors in the previous season. This year, the cutoff for Super-2 eligibility was two years, 139 days in the bigs. The Sox do not have any players who qualify for Super-2 arbitration eligibility; in fact, during the administration of GM Theo Epstein, the team has had only one Super-2, when Bronson Arroyo qualified for salary arbitration in 2005.

The list, with 2009 salaries and career service time:

1B Casey Kotchman ($2.885 million): 4 years, 144 days

RHP Jonathan Papelbon ($6.25 million): 4 years, 64 days

OF Jeremy Hermida ($2.25 million): 4 years, 33 days

RHP Manny Delcarmen ($476,000): 3 years, 133 days

RHP Ramon Ramirez ($441,000): 3 years, 113 days

RHP Fernando Cabrera ($700,000): 3 years, 104 days

OF Brian Anderson ($440,000): 3 years, 53 days

LHP Hideki Okajima ($1.75 million): 3 years, 0 days

    I don’t see Theo letting any of these get to arbitration. I can see a couple of these moving on. MDC and Ramon will be bargains even after arbitration, but Theo will probably sign them long term reasonable, and it’s about time. Pap and Oki should wind up happy on a one year deal. If Wagner comes back, will he earn more than Pap? I think not! Hermida is the interesting one, IMO. Is he a trade piece? Not for San Diego! Is he our future LF? What will be his value in arb? Will Theo give him a one year?

    Regarding the phrase you used: “fewer than six years.. but more than three years.”

    Art you trying to say “four or five years”? Do you know for a fact that is true?

  • Doc

    Art, I think by saying “ewer than six years of major-league service time but more than three year” it does not mean four or five years. What it means is 3 years, one day (one day after 3 years of ML playing time) to 5 years, 364 days (one day before 6 years of ML playing time). This is why, when you see players listed for arbitration you generally see time given in years and days. Perhaps a better way to say it might have been “between 3 years and 5 years” or something but I believe he is using something close to the official MLB wording.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  • http://www.tarotegipcio.es/blog/ tarot

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
