Brewers and Ohka avoid arbitration

Add Ohka to the (short) list of Brewers avoiding arbitration. Just in off the wire:
The Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Tomo Ohka reached agreement today on a contract for the 2006 season, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing scheduled for Thursday afternoon in St. Petersburg, Fla.Details of the deal were not immediately available but Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash indicated the sides settled for less than the $4.725 million midpoint of the figures filed. Okha had requested a salary of $5.2 million, with the Brewers filing for $4.25 million.
The agreement allowed Ash to leave Milwaukee and head for Phoenix to join general manager Doug Melvin in preparation for spring training, rather than traveling to Florida. It also kept alive the streak of Melvin and Ash of not going to an arbitration hearing since taking over the Brewers' baseball operations at the end of the 2002 season.
Ohka, who will be 30 on March 18, made $2.75 million last season, when he went 11-9 with a 4.04 earned run average. After being acquired in a June trade with Washington, he compiled a 7-6 record in 22 appearances (20 starts) with the Brewers.

Wow, dude.
That's great that they skipped arby. Now to get to work on that extension! If the Clark deal is any indication, maybe they'll be announcing an extension in about 9 hours :).

No go read the John Donovan article, so I won't be alone in calling it a piece of crap.

Still booked solid.
When my sister was in town last month we entered the lottery twice; lost both times. Very good show. The girl playing Glinda is excellent. You'll have to tell me what you think when you've finished the book.
