Arbitrators expected to decide in the next two days

Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Florida left-hander Mark Redman became the second Marlins player this year to go to a salary arbitration hearing.

Redman's lawyers argued Monday before a three-man arbitration panel in St. Petersburg, Fla., that he should get a raise from $300,000 to $2.15 million. The Marlins argued he should be paid $1.8 million.

Arbitrators Matthew Finkin, Jack Clarke and I.B. Helburn are expected to issue a decision Tuesday or Wednesday.

The 29-year-old Redman went 8-15 with a 4.21 ERA in 30 starts for Detroit last season, pitching a team-high 203 innings. He was dealt by the Tigers, along with minor league right-hander Jerrod Fuell, on Jan. 11 for right-hander Gary Knotts and minor league left-handers Nate Robertson and Rob Henkel.

On Saturday, Florida defeated right-hander Vladimir Nunez, who will get a raise from $360,000 to $1.4 million instead of the $1.75 million he asked for. That decision was made by Clarke, Helburn and Kenneth Perea.

Owners are 2-0 in salary arbitration this year, with Cincinnati defeating left-hander Bruce Chen, who gets $700,000 instead of $830,000.

Thirteen players remain in arbitration, with hearings scheduled through Feb. 20.

Montreal's Orlando Hernandez ($4.1 million) and Philadelphia's Terry Adams ($2.9 million) avoided hearings by agreeing to one-year contracts Monday.

Hernandez, acquired from the New York Yankees on Jan. 15, had asked for a raise from $3.2 million to $4.5 million in salary arbitration and Montreal had offered $4 million.

In addition to his salary, the 37-year-old right-hander can make $200,000 in performance bonuses.

Hernandez struggled with injuries last year, going 8-5 with a 3.64 ERA and one save in 22 starts and two relief appearances for New York. He would make bonuses of $20,000 each for 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 starts, and for 160, 175, 190, 200 and 210 innings.

Adams was 7-9 with a 4.35 ERA in 46 appearances in his first season with the Phillies. He began the season as a starter, before moving to the bullpen, where he had spent most of his eight-year career. He became a free agent after the season, then accepted the Phillies' offer of salary arbitration.

"It was great to have Terry decide to come back to us after filing for free agency,'' Phillies general manager Ed Wade said. "We think he'll prosper in the role of full-time relief pitcher.''
