February 16, 200719 yr I'll go on record as predicting that Cabs will win his arbitration. My only comment is that his agents did him a disservice in not putting in a higher number. 9-10 Million would have been interesting.
February 16, 200719 yr I'll go on record as predicting that Cabs will win his arbitration. My only comment is that his agents did him a disservice in not putting in a higher number. 9-10 Million would have been interesting. Exactly my point. What can the Marlins say about Cabrera (other than the FanFest fiasco)? What, that he can't pitch?
February 16, 200719 yr When is the hearing precisely(as in what time)? When will we hear the results? My vote is that Cabrera wins.
February 16, 200719 yr Personally, as I've said all along, since this process is game-planned by really competent consultants on both sides, essentially the Marlins' argument will be he is the greatest player in the world and we propose to pay him everything he ought to get in his first year of arbitration.
February 16, 200719 yr When is the hearing precisely(as in what time)? When will we hear the results? My vote is that Cabrera wins. It's still in progress.
February 16, 200719 yr It would be a crime if he doesn't win..... He deserves way more than what he's asking for..... Cheap Bastards...... He'll be in Yankee pinstripes soon......

A few days ago you said somehting similar and I thought you were a bit off but after thinking about it I tend to agree because Teixeira will make over $9 million this year and Miguel can use Teixeira's salary as a base for his salary. I think he'll win and I REALLY hope he wins.

Teixeira only has a couple of months more of service time. Cabrera can use him for comparison. =========================== http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/...out-arbitration The Really Important Thing to Remember According to the Basic Agreement, an arbitrator is supposed to consider several things when deciding upon a case. Most importantly, he/she is directed to consider:The player's contribution to his team His previous salary The salaries of players in a similar class The last two points are extremely important -- in arbitration, players are not all equal. When making a case for a player, the arbitrators are instructed to consider only the salaries of players with the same amount of major league experience, or one year more.
February 16, 200719 yr Author Just curious. For those more in the know than I, when was the last time a player of Cabrera's ability or close gone to arbitration in the first year? Has it ever happened before?
February 16, 200719 yr Still waiting. Any word on the outcome? I'm really curious how this turns out. Cabs appears very disatisfied here in FL. I say we give him the money and keep him happy until he bolts when he becomes a FA. He is the key to the offense.
February 16, 200719 yr This is a three day weekend coming up so the situation is different but I believe Gregg was heard on the 12th and announced on the 13th. You would have to think though they would rather finish their work tonight and be done with it.
February 17, 200719 yr I think the article on the website said the decision would come down tomorrow.
February 17, 200719 yr Would have been great if he wore this to the hearing... Is that shirt for real?? I'm getting that asap to wear at work.
February 17, 200719 yr Marlins | Cabrera ruling expected Saturday Sat, 17 Feb 2007 00:13:07 -0800 Updating previous reports, arbitrators Howard Block, Stephen Goldberg and Elliott Shriftman are expected to issue a ruling in the case of Florida Marlins 3B Miguel Cabrera on Saturday, Feb. 17, according to the Associated Press. If he wins, Cabrera, who is seeking $7.4 million, would receive the third-highest salary ever in an arbitration ruling. Atlanta Braves OF Andruw Jones received $8.2 million when he defeated the team in 2001, and former Washington Nationals OF Alfonso Soriano received $8.2 million when he lost to the team in 2006.

February 17, 200719 yr Gregg's arbitration results came out a little after noon (our time) the next day so I would imagine we can more or less expect the same in Cabrera's case.
February 17, 200719 yr He should win, if the disparity was bigger it'd be more interesting but I think he should win this easily.
