Figgin's Payday
Chone Figgins saw his versatility pay off as the LAnaheim Angels signed the multi-position player through his arbitration years. Figgins will earn 10.5 million over the three years of the contract. It's a good deal for the Angels, given Chone's production the last two years.
Figgins, about to turn 28 next week, is in his prime. This move insulates the Angels from any big salary run ups over the next couple of years. By the time the contract is up, Figgins will likely by starting to decline, and a big free agent contract at that point can be another team's risk.
interesting...i would have thought he could he could have done better...im sure the yankees or sox would pay him more (even though they pay everybody more)...good move by the angels
love to watch this guy play, does it right.
