Four Phillies file for arbitartion

Pitchers Joe Blanton and Chad Durbin, catcher Carlos Ruiz and outfielder Shane Victorino all filed for arbitration Friday.

The players and the team must exchange salary figures by Tuesday. If the sides cannot work out a deal, hearings are scheduled to begin Feb. 1. The Phillies had 10 arbitration-eligible players last year and avoided a hearing with all of them.

Blanton made $5.475 million last year, Durbin $1.635 million, Ruiz $450,000 and Victorino $3.125 million.
