PrintThe Braves are cruising behind an offensive explosion (Prado has 3 hits and a homer, Troy is 4/4 with 2 homers) and awesome work from Kris Medlen (throwing a 1-hitter).

Glaus contract
does anyone have a handle on this? Pacgnosis you just said something about how much we’d have to pay him more but I cant remember details. I know his APs are very very $$ weighted. holler
I think he gets around $4mil if he has 600+ PAs?

he will get $4 million

From Cot's:
1 year/$1.75M (2010)
signed by Atlanta as a free agent 1/5/10
$0.25M roster bonus for 100 days on active 25-man roster
performance bonuses: $0.35M each for 400, 450, 500 PAs; $0.4M for 550 PAs; $0.55M for 600 PAs

You know
Despite the slow start from Glaus, he’s hitting as well now as he ever has. This might end up being a career year from him.
IF
he stays healthy

And I agree. Lower dollars for guaranteed years or higher for the option. Regardless of which way we go, I don’t think we should jerk him around with incentives again.

i say do it now
We have him at 1B to not rush Freeman next year and if Freeman is ready and we are doing great we can deal Glaus at the ASB.
Also if Chip decides to retire he can play 3B
by drumzalicious on Jun 13, 2010 4:15 PM EDT up reply actions
not good
the numbers wont tell you the true story – i had to watch him here in STL for a while. He doesnt have errors – b/c he barely moves. 1B is where Glaus belongs at this point. Or DH.
now
but there’s no way we get him on such a team-friendly contract again

Ok
Jinx the Phillies
It's hard to say what's been most impressive. The seamless jump from AA? The ability to hit for average? The ability to hit for power? The 18 walks in 111 trips to the plate? The flair for the dramatic? When you're trying to isolate the most impressive aspect of Jason Heyward's game, there's a lot to choose from, and it's only been a month and a half.
