MLBtraderumors.com put together this off-season outlook for the Cleveland Indians about a month ago, so this will be old news to some of you. Anyways, here is the Indian’s financial obligations for 2010, which I copied and pasted from their outlook. (They have a bit more information on the actual site if you want to follow this link, which I highly recommend. MLBTradeRumors is an amazing site.)

I don’t think Perez is arbitration eligible….unless he’s a Super Two? Rotoworld says he’s eligible, but I believe it’s a misprint as he does not have 3 full years of ML service time in.
O and mlbtraderumors is a TERRIBLE site.
Nice that all the information is on there, but most of it is wrong or bogus.
Perez is likely to be a “Super Two” this year Hermie. MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince reported the same thing:

Out of curiosity, why do you feel MLBTraderumors is terrible? Do you have any examples of what they have been “wrong or bogus” about?
For the most part, the site regurgitates what the beat writers are saying at daily papers in MLB cities. It does have some of its own interpretation mixed in, but it is great as everything is together, organized and easy to digest without having to go to countless newspaper sites, blogs and other places to find it.
