Kim Denied in Arbitration

Arbitrators denied Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Sunny Kim on Thursday in the first salary arbitration case of the year. Kim $600,000 rather than the $800,000 he had asked for.

Kim, 28-years-old, went 6-3 with a 4.90 ERA in 10 starts and 14 relief appearances last year for the Washington Nationals and the Rockies. Colorado claimed him off waivers on August 5, 2005. Last year, Kim made the $316,000 minimum last year.
