Can Orlando Hudson still except Arbitration?

[PDXChris]

And if so, how does that play into the signing of Felipe Lopez?

No, he already declined arbitration.

If Manny doesn't sign with the Dodgers, Ken Rosenthal had an article stating that LA could use the money they offered Manny to both Dunn and Hudson which does not bode well for us.

He can't even 'accept' it. No 'exceptions' to the rule.

Arbitration is only offered once, because an arbitrator will decide on how much a player should be paid, if the team offers this then the player can accept and take what an arbitrator decides. Once it is declined, then the player is on his own. I guess they can continue to negotiate but between player and team only, no arbitrator if declined.

Ug, that would be brutal.
