The Angels designated hitter total 774 occurrences of the 1,100 he needs in the past two seasons, to enforce his contract option for next year. The projection of the "Kid" also improved, but still does not guarantee a 2012 with the Mets
A clause in the contract of Aragua states that the player will see renewed his contract and his current salary of $ 9 million between 2010 and 2011 if it builds 1,100 appearances.
takes good step. In the past year totaled 667 and woke up on Friday with 107 in the current tournament, to 774 in total.
The legal appearances include at-bats and tickets, balls, sacrifices and opportunities in the batter gets in circulation due to interference.
Abreu, in theory, is facing a hard time with the bat. He arrived at the weekend average of .247, the lowest of his career, slugging just .341, just higher than its debut in the majors with the Astros in 1996. But his .402 on-base average is the best for him since 2006.
The covenant of "Comedulce" is not unique. Several players have clauses that extend their agreements, if put some statistics. Francisco Rodriguez is one of them.
Rodriguez did not want to touch on the many times he has been consulted by the press in New York. Only one has complained, citing last week that inaction was affecting their control problems.
The "Kid" needs to close 55 games for his contract is guaranteed for 2012. If this happens, the Caracas became the best closer in annual salary in major league history, with $ 17.5 million.
Never mind that in these close the Venezuelan pitcher takes the bran. You just have to be the last pitcher of the game.
The lock on the Mets came into Friday with a projection of 52 closures. Manager Terry Collins has been careful to use him against the blackboard. Closures only adds two-game losing by Metropolis: 6 to April 14, both after spending four days without work, a span unthinkable for short relievers mentioned by reason of slippage in the capital.
Rodriguez has been effective. Their inaction is not due to a drop in performance. Until yesterday, has six saves in a row, with 1.86 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 9.2 innings.
's success has allowed the Mets' K-Rod "relieved more often. Tallied four outputs and as many closures in the six days that ran between 22 and 27 April.
But Rodriguez is not enough for their current pace, unlike Abreu, who may lose a third of the games and still get the apparitions that are missing.

Johan Santana to pitch 420 innings between 2012 and 2013 to ensure his contract with the Mets in 2014. We also get if you become among the top three voted the Cy Young in the next two seasons
Clause Freddy Garcia
are players whose salary depends on what is done in the field. This is the case of Freddy Garcia with the Yankees, who have a base salary of $ 1.5 million, with bonuses related to the total of meetings that can open this season. In the best case, if you start 30 games, win an additional $ 3.6 million, for a total of 5.1 million. The last night was his third. Is a projection of 15, but seems to be screwed into the rotation in recent days. Posted in National on Saturday, April 30, 2011.
