ESPN News:Geoff Jenkins Signs 2 Year $13M Deal with Phillies

[HoopsCubs]

Just saw it on the crawler (via Jerry Crasnick). It said something about an option for the 3rd year, but couldn't tell if it was team/player/mutual/vesting.

It's a vesting option based on plate appearances.

Not a terrible contract.

God, I'm so glad it's not us signing Geoff Jenkins.

Thank Fuku

That's not a bad deal. He'll put up huge numbers in Philly. Is Victorino moving to CF?

Probably, with Bourn gone. He's not really a corner outfielder anyway. An outfield of Burrell, Jenkins, and Victorino isn't terrible.

Agreed. He should have a shot at a .900 OPS season there.

I heard some guy saying Geoff Jenkins was an obvious roid head this past weekend. Certainly he could be, but I never thought he was a blatant guy, and never heard his name involed in the story before.
