Everyone avoids arbitration

Here are the numbers (they're all one-year deals): 

Neil Walker – $5.75 million

Pedro Alvarez – $4.25 million

Mark Melancon – $2.6 million

Gaby Sanchez – $2.3 million

Vin Mazzaro – $950,000

This is all more or less within the range of expected values, with Walker getting a bit more money than expected and Melancon getting a little bit less. It's certainly nice for the Pirates to get this way today and to not have any arbitration cases hanging over them as they get ready for camp.
