Good stuff. By the wording, it sounds like there might not be any incentives, unless the option year is tied to production. $64/6 sounds pretty reasonable to be...heh, more so considering that we almost gave that to Matt Clement two (three?) years ago.

Yes. Good. I like Rios. He's actually the most consistent player on this team.

64/6 is great considering we gave almost double that to Vernon Wells.
