Arb Hearings Postponed For Aybar, Santana

Rays and Aybar's agent have already said they have a 3 year deal done, just hasn't been announced.

Angels definitely have the money pay Santana what he wants since they signed 2 bats at less than $10 million total. Add that, Brian Fuentes, and a few of the other arbitration settlements, Angels probably have about another $15 to $20 million left to spend. That's a lot. With that I don't see why Santana's hearing should be postponed. And I think in order for him to get exactly the salary he wants, Santana needs to put up one more consistent season because he still only a year removed from that horrible season he had in 2007. I think some of these players, especially some of the players that have left Anaheim, are overrating themselves a bit too early. Maybe its because their farm system gets rated so high, and the coaches compliment them so much that these kids let it get to their heads, and then start expecting BIG raises after only a few years in the Majors. Someone needs to give these Angels prospects a reality check.

1. Conor Jackson
2. Jeff Francouer
3. Kelly Johnson
4. Edwin Encarnacion
5. Mike Jacobs
6. Andre Ethier
7. Corey Hart
8. Nate McClouth
9. Ryan Ludwick
10. Josh Willingham
11. Ryan Zimmerman
