Highest Arbitration Total

Matt from TN · 01-06-2004, 11:21 AM

Anyone ever had a player get more in arbitration than this:

PUE:Carmen Guerra gets a new one-year contract worth $6,670,357 through salary arbitration.

Previously, the most I had seen was a figure in the $4 millions... What's even more amazing is that this was Guerra's first chance for arbitration... I cannot imagine what he might get in coming seasons... However, this guy deserves every penny he gets...

Check out his player page here!

Here are his stats from his three professional seasons:

I have Pujols in a 2003 league and he's scheduled to receive 7.7 mil.

I had Pujols get $9.7 million in my league after the 2003 season.

I had two guys get over 6 million in arbitration this year in one of my online leagues. They're both worth it, though. One of them won Rookie of the Year and then the next two Cy Young awards.

Monkey Deathcar · 01-06-2004, 03:20 PM

My high for an actual league with real players was Pujols with $9.6 mil.

Had a pitcher in a fictional league (unedited) in the late 2020's who won 25 games his 4th season and received something like $9.8 mil.

Wonder if it's capped so know one can go up to $10.0 in arbitration?

Matt from TN · 01-06-2004, 03:22 PM

sounds to me like Pujols is the consensus man...

LJR · 01-06-2004, 03:26 PM

I had Cecil Fielder recieve a similar amount to Pujols....around 9.8 mil...

neohemp · 01-06-2004, 04:58 PM

Wonder what would happen if you benched Pujols (put him in the minors even) for 2003 .. how much he would get in 2004

I've had a couple guys make in the 9's in arbitration in their first eligible year. One's a pitcher the other is a 3b. It will be interesting to see how high they get up to.

In my historical league, Bonds received a nice arbitration award of $10.91 million. He's gotta be one of the best I've every seen in the game all around. For some reason he was given an A arm in the outfield, worked up to an A range, is a 10 in hits, a 13 in homeruns and an 11 in walks.

If it's capped, it's not 10 million. In a fictional league I have, I saw two players in their year of arbitration receive contracts over 12 million a year and another get almost 13.5 million.

This has come up in an online league.. http://www.longballer.com/results/p466.html

He was signed when the league was created to a contract of the same amount, but got that award in arbitration this year as well.

His estimate was 7.7 mil, so I have a feeling a bug of some sort kept him from going down to what he should get in arbitration.. any thoughts?
