White Sox Gordon Beckham and Alejandro De Aza were among 133 MLB players who filed for arbitration on Tuesday.

 

The second baseman and outfielder are the only players on the White Sox 25-man roster eligible for arbitration.

 

Beckham hit .234 with 16 home runs and 60 RBI in 151 games last season while earning $520,000. De Aza, who earned $495,000, hit .281 with nine home runs, 50 RBI and 81 runs scored in 131 games for the White Sox.

 

The two players are projected to earn $3.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, according to MLBTraderumors.com.

 

Players and teams exchange salary figures on Friday. Arbitration cases are held from Feb. 4-20 if the two sides can’t reach a deal.

DeAza had a .760 OPS playing CF and will get $1.7M.

Beckham had a .668 OPS playing 2B and will get $3.1M.

 

That seem out of whack to anybody else?

Gordon Beckham making over $1,000,000 absolutely seems out of whack. He's f***ing horrendous.

More than any other sport, baseball's pay structure is usually out of whack.

Gordon Beckham - 535 games, 2067 plate appearances

Alejandro De Aza - 271 games, 973 plate appearances

 

It's not fair, but based on playing time over their first 3 years, Beckham looks like a starting 2B and De Aza a backup outfielder.

 

That does make those salary dollars seem a bit less unreasonable.
