Orioles, Luke Scott Avoid Arbitration
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [February 10, 2011 at 3:27pm CST]
The Orioles avoided arbitration with Luke Scott, agreeing to a $6.4MM deal,
according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun. As our Arb Tracker shows,
Scott filed for $6.85MM, while the O's countered with a $5.7MM offer.
Scott led the Orioles in homers (27) last year, when he earned $4.05MM. The
32-year-old hit .284/.368/.535 in 517 plate appearances, mostly as the
Orioles' DH. Scott will play left field in 2011, when Vladimir Guerrero takes
over as the Orioles' everyday DH.
The Orioles can retain Scott in 2012 if they offer arbitration, but they
could choose to cut him loose after the season if they determine that his
salary as a fourth-time arbitration eligible player will out-strip his
production.
Orioles right-hander Jeremy Guthrie is one of eight arbitration eligible
players who is still without a contract for 2011.
