[情報] Hill awarded $775,000 in arbitration
Nationals pitcher Shawn Hill became the first Major League player to go to an
arbitration hearing on Friday.
On Saturday, he was the first player to win his case.
Hill, who earned $402,000 in 2008, was awarded the $775,000 he requested from
the Nationals, who had countered with $500,000, according to The Washington
Post. During an arbitration hearing, a three-person panel in Phoenix hands out
one figure -- there is no middle ground.
With Hill's case decided, the Nationals have three arbitration-eligible players
remaining in outfielder Josh Willingham, left-hander Scott Olsen -- both
acquired via trade from the Marlins this offseason -- and third baseman Ryan
Zimmerman. According to The Post, Olsen's hearing is scheduled for Tuesday,
while Willingham's date is Feb. 18.
Hearings will run until Feb. 20, and clubs can agree on a contract with the
players until their respective hearing dates.
During an injury-plagued 2008 season, Hill went 1-5 with a 5.83 ERA in 12
starts. The 27-year-old right-hander didn't pitch after June 24 and had
arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow performed by Dr. James Andrews on Sept.
5.
"I was very happy, obviously," Hill told The Post. "Somewhat surprised, just
knowing that the owners do have the advantage historically and they've been 60
or 65 percent in the last couple years. We were kind of going up against it. I
didn't expect it to go ... to the hearing, but I'm pleased with the outcome."
