Well, the last three were Fielder, Braun and Hart, renewed on the same day in 2008
But I agree, it turned out ok for all of them.
Really, the bigger concern is what happens next year. If the Brewers and Gallardo’s agent have struggled to reach agreement two consecutive years in zero-leverage situations, good luck trying to work out a deal to avoid arbitration with him.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
"good luck trying to work out a deal to avoid arbitration with him"
Didn’t that work out okay with Fielder & Braun?
And not so much with Hart.

Right
So we really have no idea if being renewed matters at all in working out a deal to avoid arbitration.

my point...
His agent was likely making “unreasonable” demands. I just don’t think it bodes well for signing him long-term.

Depends.
In a zero leverage situation like this, it doesn’t take that much for demands to be considered “unreasonable.” Whether he (agent) likes it or not, this is the way the system works, and you’re not going to get a large raise pre-arbitration unless you’re an incredibly special player. In that case, the team will probably bend over backward to sign you. Gallardo’s not that special yet, has potential, but needs work.
Shruggity
Nope.
The Brewers just announced they have renewed the contract of right-hander Yovani Gallardo, meaning they were unable to come to an agreement for a salary for 2010.
Thus, the Brewers renewed Gallardo’s contract at a specific figure, using the formula they use for all players in the zero to three class of major league service. I haven’t heard the renewal figure yet but Gallardo made $414,000 last year.

yeah, that's my guess, too.
These raises are pretty insignificant, I’m surprised more teams don’t just renew at their own system to avoid any potential little rifts between them and an agent over a $10k disagreement.

from an overall payroll standpoint.
And I’m guessing most guys only get about 10k extra or so on average.

That's what the Pirates did this year.

I think they had the right idea. That's where I was getting the idea from.

Here's what Adam McCalvy said yesterday:
Teams essentially can pay such players whatever they want as long as it meets the Major League minimum salary but the sides typically negotiate anyway, partly to keep things cordial for the more difficult talks later on in a player’s career.
I think that pretty much sums it up.

Might be more
The top of the spectrum is probably the $670,000 Fielder got in 2008 after hitting 50 home runs the year before.
Gallardo’s accomplishments are nowhere near that, but $500k wouldn’t shock me.

Arbitration
If the Brewers and Gallardo go to arbitration next year, I’m guessing that $2-3M will be the range both sides will be working in (a little more if he has a breakout season).
That’s not really an amount I’m worried about, but hopefully they can get a long term contract in place before it drags into multiple arbitration years.
It's not an exact comp, clearly, but:
Yovani Gallardo 2009: 185.2 IP, 3.73 ERA
Kevin Correia 2009: 198 IP, 3.91 ERA
Correia was just arb eligible for the third time, and they settled at $3.6 million. So $2.5-3 probably isn’t out of line.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
By the way
While looking up Correia’s contract, I stumbled across this: The Padres have exactly $1.1 million in salary guaranteed for next season: The buyouts on two contracts. Every other player on their roster is non-guaranteed or a free agent.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Was the team recently sold or are there plans to sell?
I’d imagine that has something to do with it.
I think the sale was official sometime before the All Star Break last season, IIRC.

is not recycled. The only thing green about him is the truckloads of money he stole from the Brewers.
Q: Did you ever scout Corey Hart? What seems to be holding him back from being a good hitter for AVG?
A: The slider away. And that facial hair.
