It makes sense that the amount is lower than the projection if the two sides reach an accord.

I haven’t been able to find where Cot’s shows it’s arbitration projections, which apparently are different than the ones MLBTR puts out.   Can anyone point me to them?    I think I read on one of the MASN blogs that Cot’s projected Mancini at $5 mm, compared to MLBTR’s $5.7 mm.    I think even Cot’s may be a little high there and MLBTR almost certainly is too high.  

Im also curious to see what Cot’s projected for Villar.

Why?    The projection was made without knowing the bid or the ask.    I’d assume the projection is going for the number the parties ultimately will settle at.

I always figured their projection is what the arbitration award would be.

Not what the two sides would settle at.

This doesn’t make sense to me.    The award has to be either what the player demanded or what the team offered.   Each side wins roughly half the time.   Nobody knows what Castro would have demanded or what the team would have offered if they hadn’t settled, so it seems to me that to do a projection as you describe, you’d have to guess what would be demanded and who would win.

I wonder if the O’s threw in a new necklace.

That’s probably the .05.

When your life passes in front of you early on in the week,  settling for 1.05 million looks pretty darn good I would imagine.

My mind was thinking the robbery was actually a message to settle for the lower arbitration amount. Also too soon.

Don't forget that he has bonus incentives in there.  Would love to see the others accept deals with those in there too.
