Arbitration hearings, which are necessary only in the case where a player and team can't mutually agree on the value of a one-year contract, would begin on Jan. 30 and continue through the first half of February. The Cardinals last went to an arbitration hearing in 1999.
So with these cases taking precedence on the Cardinals' current to-do list, here's a look at the individual situations still left for the Cardinals to settle:
• Trevor Rosenthal (4 years, 58 days service time): Rosenthal won't see as much of an increase as he did a year ago when, as a first-time arbitration-eligible player, his salary jumped from $535,000 to $5.
