[新聞] Playoff star Ross reaches 1-yr deal with Giants
By JANIE McCAULEY AP Baseball Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Postseason star Cody Ross has avoided salary arbitration
with the World Series champion San Francisco Giants, agreeing to terms on a
$6.3 million, one-year contract Tuesday.
The deal marks a nice raise for the former kid rodeo clown. Ross earned $4.45
million last season, when he joined the Giants on a waiver claim from Florida
on Aug. 22.
Ross became one of the Giants' most reliable players down the stretch and
during an improbable title run. The franchise won its first championship
since 1954 and first since moving West in 1958.
The 30-year-old Ross quickly became a fan favorite in the Bay Area. He hit
three of his five postseason home runs during the NL championship series
against Philadelphia. The NL West champion Giants - in the playoffs for the
first time since 2003 - won in six games against the favored Phillies and
Ross received MVP honors. He drove in 10 runs during the playoffs, two in San
Francisco's five-game World Series win over the Texas Rangers.
Son of a team roper and steer wrestler, Ross as a boy would dress up as a
clown for weekend rodeo events with hopes of one day getting in the ring. But
he discovered baseball first.
Pitcher Jonathan Sanchez reached agreement on a $4.8 million, one-year deal.
The left-hander pitched a no-hitter on July 10, 2009, then went 13-9 with a
3.07 ERA in 33 starts and 34 outings overall last season.
Right-handed reliever Ramon Ramirez, another midseason addition last year,
also avoided arbitration by agreeing on a $1.65 million, one-year deal.
Ramirez went 1-0 with a 0.67 ERA in 25 outings for the Giants. He was
acquired from Boston in a trade deadline deal.
