CLEMENT: 1 year/$1.5M (2008), plus 2009 club option

• signed as a free agent 1/4/08
• 08:$1.25M, 09:$8.75M club option ($0.25M buyout)
• $5.25M in performance bonuses (full amount with 200 IP)
• 2009 option increases to:
  • $9M ($0.5M buyout) with 160 IP in 2008
    
  • $9.5M ($1M buyout) with 180 IP in 2008
  • $10M ($1.5M buyout) with 200 IP in 2008
  • $11M ($2M buyout) with top 5 in 2008 Cy Young vote
• That is a decent value if he pans out. think about it. If he reaches those plateaus he has had a really, really good year and the Cards will be pleased. If not, $1.25 mil is not a club breaking amount.
• Mozeliak, good signing.

MILES: The Cardinals elected not to tender Miles a contract by the deadline in December because the infielder, who earned $1 million in 2006, was eligible for arbitration and likely due a sizeable raise. WELL, he got a raise. to the tune of $1.4 mil. So know we have a plethora of fielders playing the middle infield spots.

I have never been down on Miles, as I have felt he has done what was asked of him. fill in. When we needed a SS, a 3B, 2B he was there. He played hard and never heard a peep from him. Now it is Miles,Ryan, Izturis,Kennedy,Spezio and maybe Hoff all vying for those coveted spots.

All in all, not a bad backup insurance policy.
