NEW STADIUM MAY FACTOR IN ARBITRATION

The Yankees' new hitter-friendly ballpark might have an impact on their
arbitration cases this offseason.

This winter, three Yankees are arbitration-eligible -- Melky Cabrera,
Brian Bruney and Chien-Ming Wang -- though it's possible the team will
add more arbitration-eligible players between now and hearing time. Of
the trio, Cabrera will be the case to watch. He's batting .284 with eight
homers and 32 RBIs at home, versus .289 with just three homers and 11 RBIs
on the road.

The Yankees likely would use this as a reason to pay him less -- arguing
that he's a product of their home park. As one agent says, a side will make
the case with the ballpark's impact in mind "if it's convenient."

"It all comes down to comparable players," the agent said. "And the reality
is you're going to want to differentiate conveniently why Adrian Gonzalez
[who plays home games in pitcher-friendly San Diego] is not the same as
someone who hits 30 home runs for the Yankees."

But the Yankees' home-road splits were higher the previous two seasons
compared with this year. In 2007, their OPS was .854 at home and.804 on
the road, last season .789 at home and .749 on the road.

Entering last night's game, the Yankees' OPS was .859 at home and .817 on
the road. It's still higher at home, but not to the degree of the previous
two years, despite the home-run barrage in the new park.

On the other hand, if the hitters' values are perceived as diminished
because of the park they play in, the Yankees pitchers could see their
values enhanced. That could benefit Bruney and Wang this winter, and going
forward, players such as Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Phil Coke.

洋基新球場是打者天堂的特性，將影響薪資仲裁的談判

全篇以Melky(打者)為主，說新球場是打者天堂，以致於洋基可以說主場導致
他的打擊成績較好看，尤其Melky客場成績比較不好一點。
且全隊打者的主客場比較一直也是主場比較好，但新球場真的是全壘打天堂。

因為新球場的特性，打者的價值可能會被貶低，相對的，投手的價值可能會被提升，
而在仲裁上相對有利，不只今年的王與布魯尼，還有未來的Hughes, Joba, Coke等都
可能受益。
