[imref]

7/160?

[PANatsFan]

Who is left? They've been doing a bang up job so far.

Lannan I believe?

Lannan at $5.7MM and the team at $5MM, I don't see how that would even go to arbitration.  That close and they don't work something out?

I think they should just give him the 700k. He's been a team player from the first.

I don't think that's the criteria on which people are, or should be, paid.

We're going to put you out every year on opening day to get shelled and harrassed by phools. We are going to pitch you till your arm falls off and then demote you. Oh, and you are not allowed to tweeze your eyebrows.

Pay the man.

The world isn't a meritocracy.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

IF they fight Lannan over this, then they are cheap. 

It would not surprise me too much if they have a deal in place for him as well, pending a physical at a mutually convenient time.

Lannan's arbitration hearing was today, according to Ladson:

John Lannan Had Arbitration Hearing Today

By Tim Dierkes [February 1 at 1:34pm CST]

Nationals southpaw John Lannan had his arbitration hearing today, tweets MLB.com's Bill Ladson.  We'll know soon whether the CAA Sports client will be paid $5.7MM or $5MM in 2012.  Lannan's hearing was the first of 2012, and arbitrators Robert Herzog, Elizabeth Neumeier and John Skonier are expected to decide by Thursday according to the AP.

A file and trial team, the Nationals have had arbitration hearings with Alfonso Soriano, Chad Cordero, John Patterson, Felipe Lopez, Shawn Hill, Sean Burnett, and Brian Bruney since 2006.  The Nationals won five of the seven hearings.

Lannan loses arbitration, will make $5 million this year. Kilgore with the tweet powers.

I'm sure he's heartbroken.

[Lintyfresh85]

I'm sure he's heartbroken.

I wonder how many times the Nationals brought up beef as a reason as to why he's not worth 5.7 million?

Make that 6 - 2 now for the club. 

If only they could, you know, actually play baseball that well.

 

[The Chief]

I actually would have liked to see Lannan win just to see how the club handled it.  I can't help feeling that Lannan is wasting the best years of his career here only to be discarded at a whim at some (near) future date.

I'd like to waste a year of my life making 5 million dollars.

You know what I meant.

[Lintyfresh85]

You know what I meant.

Do you think he'd get more on the open market? I can't imagine he'd find much more than the 5 million he's making this year. But yes, I totally understand what you mean.
