The deadline for teams to offer arbitration to their ranked players officially passed late Tuesday night. Players must now decide whether they'll accept the arbitration offer for a one-year deal, work out a different deal with last year's team or hit the free-agent market in search of multi-year riches. While we wait to see if teams will get any draft picks back should a player sign elsewhere — strong possibilities in the cases of Type A free agents like Cliff Lee(notes), Jayson Werth(notes), Carl Crawford(notes), Rafael Soriano(notes) and Paul Konerko(notes) — let's take a look at 10 arbitration decisions that generated some talk on Tuesday. 1. The Milwaukee Brewers offer Trevor Hoffman(notes): Offering a 43-year-old closer with possible retirement plans a chance to hit the table for a guaranteed salary close to the $7.5 million he made in 2010? Huh? Eh, it's not as crazy as it sounds. Hoffman and the Crew have a gentlemen's agreement that he'll turn down the arbitration offer. And if Hoffman finds a closer's job on the West Coast, the Brewers will get an extra pick in the 2011 draft. Consider it Hoffman's parting gift after Milwaukee threw him a nice party for career save No. 600. 2. The New York Yankees offer Javier Vazquez(notes): Same deal as Hoffman. The 2010 disappointment wants a chance to prove himself every fifth day in 2011 and he won't get that in the Bronx. Signs have him landing with the Florida Marlins and the Yankees would get a draft pick between the first and second rounds if he does. Consider it Vazquez's "sorry I couldn't even make your playoff roster" parting gift. 3. The New York Yankees decline Derek Jeter(notes): Oh, you heard something about the Yankees decision to not give Jeets the option of making about $25 million for 2011? (Not that he would have taken them up on it.) The Yankees also declined arbitration on Lance Berkman(notes), Andy Pettitte(notes), Mariano Rivera(notes) and Kerry Wood(notes). 4. The San Francisco Giants offer Juan Uribe(notes): The defending world champions extended an offer to their only ranked free agent and it's a smart move. If Uribe goes elsewhere, they'll get a draft pick. If he opts for arbitration, he won't get that big of a raise from the $3.25 million in 2010 and they'll retain a power-hitting infielder with positional flexibility. One of the biggest no-brainer offers out there. 5. The Chicago White Sox decline A.J. Pierzynski(notes): The Dennis the Menace catcher wants to remain on the South Side. So much so that the White Sox were likely afraid he'd take their arbitration offer and make somewhere near the $6.25 million he was paid in 2010. If A.J. walks and Konerko goes elsewhere, every position player from the 2005 title team will be gone. 6. The Chicago White Sox decline Manny Ramirez(notes): What? The Pale Hose didn't want to give Man-Ram a chance to make $16 million or more next season? Shocking! 7. The Texas Rangers offer Frank Francisco(notes): In the wake of Joaquin Benoit's(notes) three-year, $16.25 million deal with the Detroit Tigers, you'd figure that the Rangers' former closer would be hanging out his shingle the other day. But he's actually expected to accept Texas' offer and make around $4 million for one season of work. That injury that kept him out of the Rangers' postseason run probably wouldn't help him out on the market. 8. The Texas Rangers decline Vladimir Guerrero(notes): GM Jon Daniels says he still wants Vlad back next season. But on his terms, not an arbitrator's. (Guerrero would have brought two draft picks as a Type A free agent, but it seems obvious Daniels sees that aging 1B/DH market as oversaturated as everyone else does. No one would be giving up two draft picks to sign Guerrero to a multi-year deal.) 9. The Washington Nationals offer Adam Dunn(notes): Hey, weren't these two sides supposed to have already agreed to a deal by now? 10. The Minnesota Twins offer Carl Pavano(notes): Mr. Mustache is the gift that keeps on giving in the Twin Cities in 2010. First he wins 17 games for a division title team, now the Type A free agent will deliver two draft picks should he go looking for a multi-year deal elsewhere. However, he did accept Minnesota's offer of arbitration in 2009. 資料來源: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_league_stew/post/A-quick-look-at-10- noteworthy-arbitration-decisi?urn=mlb-288723 -- 2010 Texas Rangers Postseason Franchise Roster (SP)Cliff Lee (C)Benjie Molina (1B)Mitch Moreland (2B)Ian Kinsler (SS)Elvis Andrus (3B)Michael Young (LF)David Murphy (CF)Josh Hamilton (RF)Nelson Cruz (DH)Vladimir Guerrero (SP)C.J.
