I thought a 1 year contract was a 1 year contract? If he agrees to a 1 year contract in December 2004, how does he get another year in 2006? I thought arbitration was only in specific cases.
Nope, a lot of players sign one year deals instead of going to arbitration for that specific year, and are still under contract for other years as well, Jon Garland is another example of this happening last offseason.
