And it's about some performance bonuses for the recently signed arbitration eligibles:
Bourn: $50,000 if he makes 680 plate appearances
Lindstrom: $25,000 if he plays in 65 games, and $25,000 more for 75 games
Quintero: $25,000 if he makes 175 plate appearances, and $25,000 more for 200 plate appearances.
Quick note: Bourn made 678 plate appearances in 2009; Lindstrom appeared in 54 games last year (though of course dealing with injury, he made 66 appearances in 2008, and 71 in 2007); Quintero made 168 PAs in 2009, a year after making a career-high 183 PAs.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
