Luke Hochevar agent is very good at his job. How does he get $4.56 million considering jus service tim and proformance?
-

MLB Trade Rumors’ Matt Swartz predicted Hochevar at $4.4M, so this is very much in line with previous similar players. Hochevar’s agent is Scott Boras.

Glad to hear about the Rays’ players, happy to have them still in the fold.

- icanspeel - Jan 18, 2013 at 1:54 PM

They’d still be in the fold regardless, the question would just be would it be for more or less money. All these signings are just compromises

I do realize that. Was just too lazy to type “…happy to have them in the fold at a bit of a savings for the team, which they hopefully will be able to use on one more decent hitter, and with little or no acrimony.”

Wait. Jackson, Avila, Porcello and Fister are not-so noteworthy????? But, Hunter Pence is?You’re dead to me, Gleeman. Pptoo, pptoo. Dead.

I don’t even know who any of those alleged players are….are you sure they play pro baseball?

Please, if you can, set up a list (like the free-agent list) of arb-eligible players who have NOT signed, and then tick them off if/when they do. That would be helpful, thanks.

and so we’ll know when it’s almost over?

For the Nationals, Roger Bernadina ($?), Ian Desmond ($3.8M), Ross Detwiler ($2.337M), Craig Stammen (2/$2.25M), and Drew Storen ($2.5M) have signed.
Tyler Clippard ($4.6M predicted) and Jordan Zimmermann ($4.9M) have not.

Clip signed, so my day is made. JZ will sign for what he is worth, I hope, good pitcher, does not get enough notice outside of DC. C’mon, Jordan, SIGN!!!

The #Nats announce they've agreed to terms with right-hander Tyler Clippard. They're lone remaining arb-eligible player is Jordan Zimmermann—

I would argue that Jason Heyward is note worthy.

Just curious, after arbitration, is it BSOHL season?
-
- historiophiliac - Jan 18, 2013 at 3:01 PM
-
More seriously: Porcello gets $5.1 mil but Fister gets $4 mil????

Well, there was that ugly “Dog Fister” incident last season. I’m sure that saw his price drop a bit.
-
- historiophiliac - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:07 PM
-
He should get extra after that beaner to the head.
-
- cur68 - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:09 PM

Takes a tough guy to walk this Earth sporting a “Doug Fister” handle. Man’s cranium must be cast iron.
-
- historiophiliac - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:18 PM
-
Yeah, isn’t that worth a couple more millions?
-
- dawgpoundmember - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:31 PM
-
2012 salaries: Doug Fister – $507500 Rick Porcello – $3100000 Porcello gets a $2 million raise while Fister got almost $3.5 million after two different stints on the DL.
-
- historiophiliac - Jan 18, 2013 at 5:48 PM

I guess we’ll see this season who ends up being the better option.

Porcello’s ’12 playoffs: 1.1 IP
Fister’s ’12 playoffs: 19.1 IPTwo stints on the DL notwithstanding, Fister is one of the more underrated pitchers in baseball. Certainly a better pitcher than Porcello. 4 Millions is a bargain.
It also shows what a difference pre-draft value can be.
Porcello (23) career earnings: $8.6 M.
Fister (28) career earnings: $1.3 MBut the Tigers’ biggest bargain is Jackson. A 5 WAR centerfielder at about $4 Million, entering his prime. His number will shoot up.

- historiophiliac - Jan 18, 2013 at 10:07 PM

Agreed on Jackson. Great glove and lead off bat. A game opening HR in the first at-bat? More of that, please. He’s a steal.
-
- dawgpoundmember - Jan 18, 2013 at 10:35 PM

My point was on getting a raise. Porcello gets his based on what he has already earned and what he deserves, but Fister got his on actually what he did. But Scherzer is the deal for the Tigers.
Scherzer filed for $7.4 million and if you take away the first two months of last year, he is CY Young talk. Second in strikeouts only to the ACE of the staff Justin Verlander. Scherzer is the bargin whether he goes to arbitration or not.

- historiophiliac - Jan 18, 2013 at 10:55 PM

I felt like Fister broke out at the end (and was more of an asset than Porcello), but Scherzer is definitely the sh!t. Your right on that. I hope the shoulder issues weren’t from going too many innings. I really thought he was having a better year than V last season — more steady.
