Johnny Damon is the lone Type A player in the group, while left-hander Andy Pettitte and outfielder Xavier Nady rank as Type B players. Designated hitter Hideki Matsui, catcher Jose Molina and utility men Jerry Hairston and Eric Hinske were unranked and therefore arbitration doesn't apply. The Elias rankings are based on a two-year statistical formula for each position group. A Type A player ranks in the top 20 percent at his position; a Type B player ranks in the top 40 percent but not in the top 20 percent. |
The Yankees announced Tuesday that they will not offer arbitration to any of their eligible players by Tuesday night's deadline, meaning the club will not receive Draft pick compensation if any of the players sign elsewhere.
