So it begins
The annual ritual of renewing the contracts of baseball's indentured servants. The Angels started down that long road today by signing Robb Quinlan, Matt Hensley, and Joe Saunders. That brings the number of players the Angels have under "major league" contracts to 21 - so just 19 more deals to get done before the season begins.
Terms were not disclosed, but it's likely all three were signed for the major league minimum of $316,000. Now don't take that to mean these guys are going to make $316,000 for playing in the minor leagues for most or all of next season - they only get that money if they're on the "active" 25-man roster. Otherwise they'll receive the minor league minimum of $52,600. Still, it's good work if you can get it.
