That seems like a lot for someone who hasn't been a league average player since 2013.

My guess is he'd need a lot of PA to earn those incentives, and will only get them if he's playing well.

Here are a few of the MAJOR LEAGUE CONTRACTS that were signed by players this winter.  IF this contract by Bournes was a MLB Guaranteed Deal, I think it falls in line with some of theses.

 

Ryan LaMarre    CF / LF / RF          Angels                                  $557,500             

Jimmy Paredes                 LF / RF / 2B          Japan                                    $1.2MM              

Alexi Amarista   CF / 2B / SS / 3B                Rockies                 $1.25MM            

Chris Heisey       CF / LF / RF          Nationals                             $1.4MM              

Franklin Gutierrez            DH / RF                 Dodgers               $2.6MM              

Ben Revere        CF / LF   Angels                                                  $4MM  

Colby Rasmus    CF / LF / RF          Rays                                       $5MM  

Rajai Davis           CF / LF   Athletics                                              $6MM  

Jon Jay CF / LF / RF          Cubs                                                      $8MM  

Michael Saunders            LF / RF   Phillies                                  $9MM  

Carlos Gomez    CF / LF / RF          Rangers                                $11.5MM            

Matt Holliday     1B / LF   Yankees                                               $13MM               

Carlos Beltran    DH / RF                 Astros                                   $16MM               

Jose Bautista      DH / RF                 Blue Jays                              $18.5MM

That was kinda my point, for it being a minor league deal (the result of his recent level of play) the top end is pretty substantial. 

And yes one would hope he would have to play well to reach the required plate appearances.

Feel free to join in all. It's not an official game thread. Obviously.

Adam Jones.  It's a little irritating to hear a guy with a dismal postseason hitting record talk about other areas they need to improve in to advance.  Worry about yourself.

On the other hand it is refreshing to hear a player be open about the defensive shortcomings of his outfield teammates while not addressing his own.

I think it is obvious that with DHs in the field since 2013, Adam has tried to do too much out there. And I do think he would openly admit that if you asked him.
