Remember what a steal the Orlando Hudson signing seemed like at the beginning of the season? Ned Colletti got a lot of credit for this bargain-basement find. But Hudson has played beyond expectations, and thankfully he's making more money with each plate appearance.
The details of Hudson's signing, from Cot's Baseball Contracts:
1 year/$3.38M (2009)
signed by LA Dodgers as a free agent 2/20/09
$0.38M signing bonus (deferred, without interest)
09:$3M
$4.62M in performance bonuses: $0.15M each for 150, 175 PAs; $0.2M each for 200, 225, 250, 275, 300 PAs; $0.25M each for 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475, 500, 525, 550, 575 PAs; 10,000 for each PA 576-632
bonuses beyond 550 PAs deferred without interest
Hudson to donate $25,000 to club charity
Hudson is currently at 489 plate appearances, so:
