The Colorado Rockies and Brad Hawpe have finally came to terms on a one year contract. Hawpe will earn just short of $4 million dollars in 2009. He can make over $4 million if he hits all of his incentives like $50,000 each for 600 and 675 plate appearances.
It was pretty obvious that Hawpe and the Rockies were going to work out a deal. The question everyone was asking was how soon, and how much money are the Rockies going to pay him. I think it is a good deal for both sides and now Hawpe can concentrate on having a good spring training.
