No word whether Kelly also gets Phil Coke’s $25,000 bonus clause for games pitched.

Encouraging news from Rotoworld, or is it?
The Tigers and OF Don Kelly avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $900,000 contract.
Kelly batted .245/.291/.381 with seven home runs and 28 RBI in 113 games last season while earning close to the league minimum. He’ll act as a utilityman in 2012.
Good to see that Donnie is a utilityman and not our primary third baseman. But wait! That means that our third baseman is……….AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Our number three hitter is Delmon Young...
Not sure if that’s better or worse.

I don't mind being 100K over on this estimate
Since we were, you know, under by about 1M+ on Porcello’s estimate.

But look forward to another hilarious post on DNR featuring Mr. Illich, DD, Don Kelly & (dare I dream?) Sheff!
