Half a Dozen Mets File for Salary Arbitration

Marty Noble of MLB.com, gives a list of the sextuplets filing for Salary arbitration.

The club faces possible hearings with Ryan Church, Pedro Feliciano, John Maine, Angel Pagan and Duaner Sanchez, and Jeremy Reed. But chances are most of the six will settle and avoid hearings, as is the case with most clubs.

Al Leiter was the last Met to actually go to a hearing back in 1992. Since then the Mets have done a fantastic job avoiding arbitration hearings over the last 17 yrs. Oliver Perez broke the streak of 17 yrs when he not only filed, but was victorious in his case against the Mets last year. Perez, no doubt benefited from having the incomparable, Scott Boras plead his case, armed with his legendary stat books and golden tongue.
