Perez Wins Arbitration
According to SI.com:
Mets starting pitcher Oliver Perez has won his arbitration hearing and will earn $6.5 million in 2008, SI.com has learned. The Mets submitted a figure of $4.725 million for the 26-year-old lefthander. Perez earned $2.325 in 2007, going 15-10 with a 3.56 ERA.
I do not see how Perez won this case. Chien-Ming Wang who has been more consistent and put up better stats (19 wins 2 years in a row) lost even though he was asking for less money. This is also a sign that Perez will likely receive upwards of $15-17 million this off-season.
