The following players for my No Expansion - Out of the Park 19 project (featuring the Atlanta Braves) all got hefty raises with one-year deals through arbitration (November 1996)...
- CL - Mark Wohlers (1996 N.L. Fireman of the Year) - $1,725,500
- 3B- Chipper Jones - $4,000,000
- RP- Roberto Hernandez - $1,625,000
- 1B - Jason Giambi - $1,600,000
- SP - Alan Benes - $1,174,250
- OF- Johnny Damon (1996 N.L. Gold Glove) - $273,000
- OF - Ryan Klesko (1996 N.L. Home Run & RBI Leader) - $2,150,000
- C- Javy Lopez - $3,000,000
The Braves also didn't tender contracts to minor league OF-Bill Ashley & 2B-Mark Lemke.
We were also able to extend Chipper Jones to a 7-year deal worth $44.8 million.
The Braves signed 2B-Bret Boone ($500,000) and IF-Tony Graffanino ($350,000) to minor-league deals, which they both are most likely to make their salaries, since there is really no depth at second base at the moment.
