The next order of business was the Arbitration Hearings and we only had 1 player to worry about: RP Lou Hertzberg (29-L). The other 5 players arbitration eligible were all non-tendered because they stink. Hertzberg actually did not pitch in the Majors last season, though he had a salary of $156,000. Our head scout, Dave Dafoe, does not think a lot of him, but he has been effective everywhere that he has pitched with a 2.63 career ERA in 6 major league seasons. 1.57 ERA last season split evenly between AAA and AA. We offered a pay cut at $140,000. He was awarded $225,000.
