Team-By-Team Arbitration Decisions

[Updated @ 11:18am: Astros, Reds, Phillies]: News of arbitration [non-]offers are trickling in, so whenever I hear something new I'll add it here. If you discover any on your own don't hesitate to include them in the comments, but be sure to provide a source. I'll update this list accordingly. I am only going to include Type A and Type B free agents, since the arbitration status of unranked players is inconsequential.

Players who were offered arbitration are listed in bold green (Type A) or green (Type B).
Players not offered arbitration are listed in bold red (Type A) or red (Type B).

Leaky Ship: Astros 7, Mets 3

I was at one of those weird Friday night weddings and the reception hall in the hotel had zero cellular service and no WiFi within range. So what's a guy to do? Well, if that guy is me he sneaks out for a pee break every half hour and has the front desk clerk change the channel in the lobby lounge to SNY, that's what.

The first time I came out the Mets were winning 3-2. The second time it was 3-3 and Joe Smith was dominating. The third time it was still 3-3 and the Mets had the bases loaded with none out. We all know how that one ended, and the game unofficially ended a couple of innings later when Aaron Heilman gave up a grand slam to Mark Loretta. Big fail for the bullpen, again.

The consolation is that the Phillies and Marlins (and Braves and Yankees, if you care) also lost, so the Mets remain a game back of Philly in the NL East. Santana and Oswalt go tomorrow night.

Big winners: Jose Reyes, +11.8% WPA, Argenis Reyes, +8.6% WPA
Big losers: Aaron Heilman, -28.6% WPA, Endy Chavez, -18.8% WPA
Teh aw3s0mest play: Easley RBI single, +12.9% WPA
Teh sux0rest play: Loretta salami, -21.1% WPA
Total pitcher WPA: -27.2%
Total batter WPA: -22.8%
