[情報] Magglio Ordonez's 2010 Option Vests
Magglio Ordonez has made his third plate appearance of the night in Detroit
against the Royals, reaching base on an Alex Gordon error. The at-bat means
his 2010 option has vested, as expected. Making his 1080th plate appearance in
2008 and 2009 combined, Ordonez reached the minimum number of PA required to
quarantee his $18MM option.
When the Tigers benched and platooned the 35-year-old right fielder earlier in
this year, it seemed unlikely that he would play enough to trigger the option,
but a torrid second half (.364/.438/.521) has made it impossible for Jim
Leyland to keep him out of the lineup.
While Ordonez's hot bat has helped the Tigers in their 2009 playoff push, his
overall production has declined significantly. He has only homered seven times
, after hitting 20-plus in each of the last three seasons. His age and injury
history suggest the odds are against his 2010 numbers rebounding to his career
averages of .311/.371/.512.
With $18MM now committed to Maggs next season, thd Tigers will have less
flexibility for other roster moves, such as re-signing or replacing closer
Fernando Rodney and second baseman Placido Polanco.
