    $200,000 is still quite a chunk of change.

    Re: Arbitration Fail

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these offers sent in blind?

    As in, the Angels don't know what Saunders is going to ask for when they offer the 3.6?

    What the thread maker is saying is that Saunders and the team could have sat down and agreed to a contract, instead of going through the arbitration process, because the difference is salary figures is quite minimal, relatively speaking.

    That's the theory, Leo.

    Seems like 3.0 too much.

    From the Angels point of view, you are right. If you are Saunders though, 200k is a lot. He might want to get every penny he thinks that should come to him... for all those homeruns he lets go flying out into the stratosphere.

    Re: Arbitration Fail

    It is a shame that I read through this thread and then had to click on the link to get rid of the suspense. So, can we actually say that the Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim won this or Saunders? Since they met in the middle; clearly the only winnder to me is our very own Saber.

    Well done man!
