Milwaukee signed Keith Ginter to a three-year, $1.925M contract early in March. In addition to a signing bonus of $100,000, Ginter reportedly will receive a salary of $350,000 in 2004, $450,000 in 2005, and $1.025M in 2006. Plate appearance bonuses are available to increase his 2005 salary to $500,000 and his 2006 salary to $1.825M. Ginter likely wouldn't have achieved arbitration-eligibility until after the 2005 season.
