NEW YORK -- More gadgets and toys probably will find their way into the Mets' clubhouse this year. Aaron Heilman, the electronics-obsessive pitcher called "Wall Street" by some of Mets teammates, has considerably more expendable income now. He agreed Friday to a one-year contract for $1.2 million and thereby avoided a salary arbitration confrontation with the club.

Heilman, who earned $453,000 last year, was one of six Mets players in position to exchange arbitration figures with the club Friday. He is the only one who agreed to a contract.

Oliver Perez, who tied for the team lead in victories in 2007, left-handed setup reliever Pedro Feliciano, swingman Jorge Sosa, new right fielder Ryan Church and fellow outfielder Endy Chavez did exchange numbers. Whether any of the cases goes to a hearing is difficult to say, but the Mets haven't had a case go to a hearing since 1992.

Perez is seeking the greatest raise ($4,175,000) and the highest salary ($6.5 million) after producing a 15-10 record and the lowest ERA (3.56) by a Mets pitcher who qualified for the ERA title. Feliciano submitted a salary of $1.2 million, $320,000 more than the Mets' proposal, and Sosa proposed a salary of $2,750,000 -- a raise of $1.5 million -- compared with the Mets' proposal of $1.7 million.

Church, who earned $395,000 with the Nationals last season, submitted a proposal for $2.45 million; the Mets' figure is $1.75 million. The Mets proposed no raise for Chavez, who missed much of last season with a hamstring tear. Chavez is seeking a $350,000 raise and a $2,075,000 salary.

Heilman's case had figured to be the most intriguing had it gone to a hearing. The Mets had renewed his salary last year when he wasn't eligible for arbitration and when the club and his representative couldn't negotiate a figure. But he understood then that he would become eligible for arbitration after he had three-years of big league service. A service year is awarded after a player has been on a big league roster for 172 days.

Church gained eligibility although his service time is less than three years -- he has two years, 152 days. But he is identified as a Super Two, a player whose time falls in the upper 17 percent of all players with at least two years, but less that three years of service. As part of the settlement of the 1990 lockout, Super Two players gained arbitration rights.
