Dodgers signed OF Andre Ethier to a two-year, $15.25 million contract.
Ethier, who earned $3.1 million last season, will make $6 million in 2010. The 27-year-outfielder batted .272/.361/.508 in '09, while amassing career-highs with 31 homers and 106 RBI. He batted just .194 against southpaws and isn't much of a fielder, so he's not exactly a complete player yet, but he has quickly become a fan favorite for his late-inning heroics and steady middle-of-the-order presence. |
