An Arbitration ?

[TrueBlueCubFan]

Can a player make less through arbitration the following year due to poor performance?

 

Corey Patterson made 2.8 mil. in 05'.

Should we expect the same,less, or more in $ payed to Corey in 06'?

 

Carlos Zambrano made 3.76 mil in 05'. He had a good season. Should we expect his salary to double?

 

Is JHJR arbitration eligible, b/c he made 1.8 mil in 05'? If he is should we expect the same,less, or more for him?

Yes it's possible for a player to make less through arbitration, but it can't be more than a certain percentage of a paycut(the number fails me now). Most of the time a player that would get that much of a paycut will be non-tendered to try and renegotiate at any price, since he's not that valuable to begin with.

 

Patterson is an unusual case. He's put up acceptable production for his position in the past, but he was terrible this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he made less, the same, or more.

 

I don't think you could expect Zambrano's salary to double, but my guess is that he gets a raise to the 5-6 million range.

 

From what I have, Hairston is a free agent.

The Cubs and arbitration do not go together, that's one thing MacPhail inserted when he got to the Cubs was his dislike of the arby system.

 

They haven't had a player go thru the arby process yet, this might be an exception to the norm though.

 

I don't see CP going thru arbitration, but who knows what'll happen with Corey this off-season.

Almost positive he can't get a paycut of less than 20% through arbitration, although it could be 25%.

I believe the Cubs will offer him the same salary as last year. He would be crazy to ask for a raise.

According to this he isn't a FA intil after the 06' season:

Via an arbitration hearing, a player cannot be paid less than 80% of his previous year's salary.

He has less than 6 years of service time, but he was a super-two. I'm not sure if that means he gets an extra year of arbitration, or if he gets to free agency a year earlier. If the former is true, then he is arbitration eligible, and will probably make 2 million. If the latter is true, he's obviously a FA. I thought it was discussed here before, but I couldn't find anything.
