Braves and Arbitration.

PrintSince the Arbitration Filing period ended today and figures will be exchanged Monday, I was wondering everyone's thoughts on how much of a raise each Braves player might get and how much they actually deserve to get. To refresh everyone's memories, the players that filed are Jeff Francoeur, Mike Gonzalez, Kelly Johnson, and Casey Kotchman, and Matt Diaz.
Also, do you think any of our players will go to a hearing? Usually the Braves don't have that kind of problem with not getting their players to agree to a salary figure that is offered. Really the only player that filed that I see possibly going to a hearing would be Francoeur, because of his wanting more money in a long-term deal but not getting it (or deserving it really), but I'm not entirely sure after the year he had last year.
What are your thoughts?
Update: Just read this about Diaz already striking a deal.
Diaz will earn at least $1.2375MM, but could earn $50K more if he makes 600 plate appearances.

for the teams sake, I hope not. Diaz just isn’t a full time player like we need.

I hope I can get a season of out KJ so that I can get a solid grasp on how I feel about him.
I guess I should be one to talk.
There's nights that I can't even walk.
There's days I couldn't give a fuck.
And in between is where I'm stuck.

If FYF
goes to arb, he’ll end up owing the Braves money.

Glad we brought back Diaz.
Still think the guy has a lot of value to us
