The Braves and Oscar Villareal have agreed to a one-year, $925,000 contract; he was the only player still in arbitration. The contract also includes incentives that could be worth another $100,000 based on how many games Oscar starts and finishes. He'll receive three points for each start and one point for every game finished; $25,000 bonuses will be paid for 30, 39, 48, and 60 points.
That's very cheap considering the contracts that most relievers have gotten this offseason.
ReplyDeleteI mean, the Mariners signed Rietsma for $2 million. I would pay Rietsma $2 to NOT pitch for the Braves.
Yeah, this isn't a bad signing at all. Seriously, with the depth in the 'pen and certain guys in it, I really think this could end up being the best bullpen in the Majors. And we all learned how important this is during last year's horror show...
