He's pre-arbitration.

None of these look like cases that need to be arbitrated.

Do you think the cases that got done were hurried along with the Orioles new process?

Exactly.

I think he's lucky they tendered him a contract.

But they did tender him a contract. I don't know what the record for the lowest arbitration award is, but $165K over the minimum has to be close.

Probably true. But no way they can award a million. Right?

I don't know what they do when a player has a terrible season in his last pre-arb season. But he did have a decent track record in the previous two seasons. I think he has a chance anyway.

Agree.   Just split the difference and be done with it.

McFarland is getting $685 k.

True, but that isn't an arbitration award.

I am little surprised on the Gausman offer and what he asked for both are under the expected amount.  I figured he would ask for 4 and O's would offer 3.5

I look at it this way: Schoop is getting $3.475 mm.   He's been our starting 2B for three years.    Gausman was more valuable in 2016 but his full body of work has been less impactful to date, plus he's a Super 2 while Schoop has 3 years of service time.   I'm not surprised the O's want to pay Gausman a bit less.

I don't see any chance that Joseph gets a million.  He has no comparable because no one has been as bad as he was last year.  I don't really understand why he is filling.  If he won he probably would be released.
