Dontrelle Willis just signed for one year at $4.35 million. Neither of our big guys will make more than that. That will be the arbitration standard.
Ohman, 1/18: $800K
Hairston, 1/18: $2.25M
Pierre, 1/19: $6M
Big Z, 1/21: $4.35M
Prior, arbitration: $4.25M
Well I certainly don't think Prior will make much more than Willis, with his IP being well below expectations the last few years. However, this was Willis first year of arbitration eligibility -- Zambrano will almost assuredly make more than him for that fact alone, and Prior will probably be right around Willis' number.
If I can amend my numbers, Derek, I would say:
Ohman, 1/18, $800,000
Hairston, 1/19, $2.1 m
Pierre, 1/23, $5.7 m
Zambrano, 1/25, $6.15
Prior, 1/28, $4.25 m
You're right. I forgot that fact about Z, but I'm still surprised with the number reported. That's the only one I was way off on. Let's hope he lands around 6.
