That's good.
See, $1.45 million dollars is reasonable for a guy like Pagan. That’s a smart , reasonable contract.

Tatis and Pagan
need to find Cora and Frenchy’s agents
"We have a plan, and our plan, I like our plan'
it's Omar's world, we're just livin in it.
I'm surprised that Pagan asked for as little as he did.
He asked for $1.8 million. Given his accomplishments on the field this season and last, and having “seen” Omar give Cora a $2 million dollar contract, I’m surprised his people didn’t use that $2 million dollar Cora contract as a benchmark, because he’s worth a lot more than Cora no matter how you look at it.

Well he's arbitration eligble isn't he?
I’m not sure but I imagine he wouldn’t get much in the arbitration process.

Well, I mean, I don't think that he should/would of been asking for Jeff Francoeur's $5 million dollars,
but the $1.8 million that he was asking for seems like so small, as compared to what he probably could have asked for, and maybe gotten a reasonably close sum.

He's a second year arbitration player
who made 500K last year and only played 88 games. He was seriously pushing it with 1.8.
A second year arbitration player
who made 500K last year and only played 88 games, hitting .306, with a decent OBP, and good fielding across the board. Players with lesser skill sets have made/make more.

Yeah but the arbitration proccess as far as I know
doesn’t look at skills/fielding, it’s mostly based on outdated stats like games played, rbis, homers.

that's not how this works
if you went before an arbiter and requested at least a 400% raise for a player because he played half of a season and had “good fielding across the board” you would be laughed out of the room.
I really have very little idea how it works
but do you think the loss of Beltran for at least part of the season, and the fact at this point the mets have no other cf to turn too, had anything to do with him getting such a big increase
"We have a plan, and our plan, I like our plan'

doubt it
since that kind of leverage kind of assumes he can walk, which he can’t. Maybe it expedited the deal, in the sense that the Mets leaned a little more to his side of the 600K or so they were quibbling over.
