12/01: Quick Notes: Postseason Shares Awarded, Spring Training Schedule Announced and Arbitration Deadline Today
Posted by: Patrick
You're Christmas Bonus Arrived, Clark: The Yankees have been awarded their postseason revenue shares, and they've set a new record with each share worth $365,052.73, according to MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez. The Yankees voted to have 46 full shares distributed, along with 12.25 partial shares and two cash awards. NL champion Philadelphia was given shares of $265,357.50. The Angels voted to give on share worth $138,038.51 to the estate of Nick Adenhart, who passed away earlier this year. Good on them.
Spring Training Schedule Announced: Chad Jennings has the full spring training schedule for the team. Pitchers and catchers report on February 17 and the first workout for all players is set for February 24.
Decision Time for Arbitration: Finally, today is the deadline for the Yankees to decide on their arbitration eligible players, writes Jennings. Johnny Damon, Xavier Nady and Andy Pettitte are eligible. Damon, a Type-A player, would be worth a first round and supplemental pick if the team offers him arbitration, he declines and then goes to another team. Meanwhile, Nady and Pettitte would be worth a supplemental pick each in the same situation. Of course, arbitration means a raise and if the player says yes, then you're stuck.
