SF Giants Rumors – Giants Avoid Arbitration With Medders
Posted on January 18th, 2010 by admin in SF Giants Rumors
Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports that the Giants and Brandon Medders agreed on a one-year contract for $820,000, avoiding salary arbitration.
Medders went 5-1 with a 3.01 ERA and 1 save in 61 games while earning $475,000.
King of Cali thoughts: Medders did a great job last year, so his raise is well deserved. It’s always better for teams to sign players before the arbitration hearings. I just don’t like the idea of a player submitting his worth and the team saying his worth less. Just seems like only bad feelings can come of that no matter who wins the hearing. The Giants still have three players that are arbitration eligible. Those players are Jonathan Sanchez, Brian Wilson and Tim Lincecum.
