RealKen spitballing Pujols for Teixiera or Howard

From a Yankee blog after they had claimed him

Schlitter is built around a fastball that sits around 92 mph and reaches 94-95 with good sink. He also has a changeup and a slider’s that’s “OK” but could get better with a little work. He’s a good makeup guy, “a good kid.”

The guy I talked to was surprised the Cubs couldn’t find a way to keep Schlitter on their 40-man.

“He’s somebody that could help next year,” he said.

txt me when we get andrew barb back

i read a blurb that arb is not guaranteed until opening day. the phillies could still cut him and owe him $427k. does anyone know if that is accurate?

I'd be very surprised if his contract didn't supersede arb rules.

forgot he avoided arb. it didn't sound right when i read it anyway. i'll search for the blurb.

Arbitration awards are not fully guaranteed.

If the player who is awarded a contract through the salary arbitration process (hearing) is released 16 or more days prior to Opening Day, the player receives 30 days salary (about 1/6 of his salary) as termination pay. If the player is released 15 or fewer days prior to Opening Day, the player receives 45 days salary (about 25% of his salary) as termination pay.

However, if a player who has been awarded a contract by an arbitration panel is released during Spring Training, the MLBPA will always automatically file a grievance charging the club with cutting the player for financial reasons. To defend the grievance, the club just has to provide the grievance arbitrator with Spring Training stats which show that the released player was outplayed statistically by the player that took his job.

None of this matters for Kendrick since they avoided arbitration.

brad lidge on dnl looking extra cool

Dom just said "man" like eight times in 30 seconds

I hope Schlitter makes the team so he can try a Schmitter
