ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -Robb Quinlan and the Los Angeles Angels avoided arbitration Tuesday, agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1.1 million.
Quinlan hit .262 with one home run and 11 RBIs as a utility player for the Angels last season. His two-run, two-out single in the fifth inning was the decisive hit in the team’s AL West-clinching victory over the New York Yankees on Sept. 10.
He has a .285 average with 23 home runs and 105 RBIs in 381 career games with the Angels.
Quinlan can earn an additional $25,000 for 250 plate appearances and $50,000 each for 300 and 350 plate appearances.
A pair of Angels remain in arbitration: right-hander Ervin Santana and shortstop Maicer Izturis.
Santana, who made $445,000 last year, asked for $4,325,000 and was offered $3.6 million. Izturis, who earned $1.2 million last season, proposed $1,885,000 with the team countering at $1.4 million.
