I'm a bit disappointed to on this only being a one year deal. I would like to have locked him up long term.

I guess they want to make sure he can sustain the play he did last year, this season he will make 3.125 million.

Victorino made close to $500,000 last season, when he batted .293 with 58 RBIs, 102 runs and 36 stolen bases.

Yeah, I would have liked a longer deal also, but $3M is a big raise. If he puts up those numbers again then I think they sign him to something longer.

Between Hamels and Utley, I think Victorino could be a great franchise player. We'll see how injuries hold up though. That's always the gauge on whether they're worth the extra length in a contract.
