Orioles sign Cesar Izturis
BALTIMORE -- Shortstop Cesar Izturis has finalized a $1.5 million, one-year
deal with the Baltimore Orioles.
Izturis hit .230 in 150 games with Baltimore last season. In an effort to add
punch at the position, the Orioles obtained J.J. Hardy in an offseason trade
with the Minnesota Twins, which means Izturis will likely be used as a backup.
The 30-year-old Izturis agreed to terms last month, but the contract was
contingent upon him passing a physical. The deal includes $800,000 in
performance bonuses based on plate appearances and $700,000 for starts.
Izturis' strength is in the field. His .985 fielding percentage in 2010 was
second among AL shortstops, and he ranked fifth in the league in assists and
putouts.
Izturis has a lifetime batting average of .256. He won a Gold Glove in 2004 and
was a NL All-Star in 2005.
