"SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Calvin Faucher and the Miami Marlins went to the 12th and final salary arbitration hearing this year Friday, with the reliever asking for $2.05 million and the team arguing for $1.8 million. A decision by Robert Herman, Paul Radvany and Walt De Treux is expected Saturday. A 30-year-old right-hander, Faucher was 4-4 with a 3.28 ERA in 65 relief appearances, saving 15 games in 20 chances. He struck out 59 and walked 24 in a career-high 60 1/3 innings."
"Faucher earned $775,500 last year and was eligible for arbitration for the first time as a so-called "Super 2," a player among the top 22% by service time among those with at least two but less than three years of major league service. He is 9-11 with a 4.14 ERA and 22 saves in parts of four major league seasons. Players lead 8-3 in decisions thus far, topped by left-hander Tarik Skubal winning a record $32 million arbitration salary in his hearing with the Detroit Tigers. Also winning were Cincinnati catcher Tyler Stephenson ($6.8 million), Kansas City left-hander Kris Bubic ($6.5 million), Houston catcher Yainer Diaz ($4.5 million), Baltimore right-hander Kyle Bradish ($3.55 million), Atlanta left-hander Dylan Lee ($2.2 million), Cincinnati right-hander Graham Ashcraft ($1.75 million) and Tampa Bay right-hander Edwin Uceta ($1,525,000). Players who lost included Toronto left-hander Eric Lauer ($4.4 million), Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers ($2,625,000) and Baltimore left-hander Keegan Akin ($2,975,000)."
