Aurilia to Giants

[E.J.]

ESPN[/url]"]Free agent infielder Rich Aurilia has reached preliminary agreement on a two-year deal for about $8 million with the San Francisco Giants, according to a baseball source. The contract is conditional upon Aurilia passing a physical exam this weekend.

He could have been a good utility guy. Will probably play 1st for the Giants.

Reds offered him arbitration, and I believe he's a Type-A free agent for some reason, so it works out well for the Reds.

 

Edit: Aurilia was a Type-A Free Agent

Well, when you put up the following numbers you are probably going to be classified as a type-a free agent.

 

.300/.349/.518

 

23 HR

 

25 2B

 

70 RBI

 

He had a very good year for the Reds.

Too late now, but I'd have been for him as the Cubs second baseman, especially at 2/8.

Free Agent classifications are based on the last 2 seasons. In this case, Aurilia was still not bad in '05, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

Wow, guess I didn't realize he had such a good year for the Reds. Can't say I watched all that much baseball this year with the Cubs being so crappy. :x

So according to that Cliff Floyd is a Type-A free agent? I'm not all that keen on the compensation picks. Does that mean if we sign him we'd have to give up a 1st round pick?

Nope.

 

The Mets didn't offer Floyd arbitration.

Not necessarilly.

 

The Cubs pick is protected, since they were so crappy last year.
