How the Phillies should handle their 10 remaining arbitration-eligible players

With the announcement this weekend that Pedro Florimon was outrighted from the 40-man roster, cleared waivers, and opted to become a free agent the Philadelphia Phillies have 10 arbitration-eligible players remaining.

The starting third baseman for most of the last four seasons, Franco is one of 10 arbitration-eligible Phillies.

Seven of those 10 should be back with the team next season, especially considering the value they are likely to return on the contracts that each is likely to receive.

Five of the seven are pitchers: right-handers Aaron Nola, Vince Velasquez, Jerad Eickhoff, and Hector Neris and lefty Adam Morgan.
