Quintero avoids arb; signs for $610K per Yahoo Sports

Backe, too, per the Chron (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/sports/6220818.html): 1 yr, $1.55m, with another million in incentives. Not getting tasered for 8 months is worth $150k.

Anyone care to quickly clarify the incentive-clause restrictions in MLB? If I recall correctly from previous conversations here, innings pitched (for example) is allowed, but some others aren't. What would you assume a typical pitcher's incentive clauses to be?

Innings pitched for starters, appearances for relievers.
Basically, you're not allowed to reward performance (x amount of K's/Wins/etc...), but there can be incentives for playing time.
Major League Rule 3(b)(5) says: "No Major League Uniform Player's Contract or Minor League Uniform Player Contract shall be approved if it contains a bonus for playing, pitching or batting skill or if it provides for the payment of a bonus contingent on the standing of the signing Club at the end of the championship season."

15 wins: $1.5mm
10 wins: $1.0mm
Eats some decent innings while not reaching 10 wins: $800m
Sort of sucks: $500m
Sucks: $300m
Sucks like hell: $200m
Sucks the living shit out of life: $100m
Blows beyond fucking belief: base contract
Hope that helps.

$500M = $500,000. Not sure if this changes your willingness to sort of suck or not.

no, $500m is clearly five hundred dollar-meters. He would have said $500k if he meant five hundred thousand dollars.
