ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Right-hander Andre
Pallante defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in salary arbitration
on Thursday and will earn $2.1 million instead of the team’s
$1,925,000 offer.
Arbitrators Walt De Treux, Paul Radvany and Brian Keller made
the decision one day after hearing arguments.
A day earlier, the Cardinals split their first two salary cases,
beating outfielder/infielder Brendan Donovan on Wednesday and
losing to outfielder Lars Nootbaar.
Teams and players are tied 4-4 in decisions. The only remaining
case involves Washington first baseman Nathaniel Lowe on Friday.
Pallante, a 26-year-old right-hander eligible for arbitration
for the first time, was 8-8 with a 3.78 ERA in 20 starts and
nine relief appearances last year. He earned $756,900.
Pallante is 18-14 with a 3.78 ERA in three big league seasons.
Teams also defeated New York Yankees reliever Mark Leiter Jr.
($2.05 million instead of $2.5 million) and Pittsburgh pitchers
Dennis Santana ($1.4 million instead of $2.1 million) and Johan
Oviedo ($850,000 instead of $1.15 million).
Two players beat the Los Angeles Angels: infielder Luis Rengifo
($5.95 million instead of $5.8 million) and outfielder Mickey
Moniak ($2 million instead of $1.5 million).
