Guess Jenks Arb Figures

Tuesday is the deadline to exchange arbitration figures*, and since I'm running back out the door and we could use some new discussion material I thought this might drum up some replies.

* In arbitration teams and players exchange salary numbers, and if they're unable to come to a compromise an arbiter picks one of the figures. Hearings start on Groundhog Day.

reinsdorfs nose would double in size

larry has that system down to a science. Especially with the way the economy is….big wigs like larry coming in dressed in their mink coats and 24k gold cigarrete holders with pockets lined with coke make for a large draw during shift changes.

the white sox would go to arbitration

and say bobby jenks is not mariano rivera. then they would sit down. and the arbitrator would award him the minimum salary.

Jerry [Owens] is considered to be a leadoff hitter.

Fangraphs had him worth $7.5 million last year

so accounting for the state of the economy, around $5 million would be a fair wage non?

The Sox should offer $15,000 per pound...sounds about right

White Sox offer 4.25 Jenks asks for 6

They settle at 5.15 million Dollars

Since i guessed correctly what do I win…? 2 free Backpack Margaritas on the outfield concourse from The Cheat on opening day?

Not the amount.

That it was “high.” It’s not like the White Sox are known for “overpaying” guys.

by VictorB on Jan 19, 2009 3:39 PM CST up reply actions  

Ah!

Seeing Cheat’s info below makes me think it’s kind of high but not terribly.

Naw, I scooped everyone.

Joe Cowley’s gonna start Twittering my thoughts!

and that's a record for a 1st year eligible reliever

Gagne had the record (I believe) at 5M

gagne went 5/8/10 in his arb years, and Jenks closest comp (K-rod) went 3.75/7/10 in his arb years…

Looks like next year he might be approaching 10M, which means time to get rid of him
