The Braves signed their first baseman, Casey Kotchman, to a $2.885 million contract, avoiding arbitration, the Post has learned.
Kotchman had asked for $3.25 million through arbitration and the Braves had countered at $2.475 million.
Kotchman also can make an additional $25,000 by reaching each plate appearance total of 575, 600, 625 and 650. In addition, Kotchman can make $50,000 for winning the MVP, being an All-Star, earning the Gold Glove or bring the World Series MVP. He can take home $25,000 for winning the Silver Slugger or the LCS MVP.

Casey Kotchman is in the top third of the team in salary.
Wrap your head around that for a minute.

Hahaha this was good for a laugh why even negotiate this part for Kotchman. I mean come on.

I was thinking the same thing
Especially the MVP, and just 50,000 lol? I’d give him a couple million if he was the MVP, he would have earned it.

I thought he was a “super two” player and under team control for 4 years of arbitration. Guess not. That sucks. Hopefully Freeman will be ready for 2011.
He may be…but I don’t think so. His contract was only renewed twice, but he’s got a fraction of a year in the ML

Kotchman's a super two
So the Braves have him for 2009, 2010, and 2011. Link.
The funny part is that the first Google result for simply “kotchman super two” (without the quotes) takes you this exact Talking Chop thread.
