Nothing better than a high-six after a win.

Rowand agrees to $4.35 million deal with Phillies
ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA - Aaron Rowand avoided arbitration with the Phillies today by agreeing to a one-year, $4.35 million deal that includes award and performance bonuses for the center fielder.

"I never really worried about it because I knew I would be here this year," Rowand said. "You never want to get into those arbitration hearings because they can get really ugly."

Rowand came to Philadelphia in the deal that sent Jim Thome to Chicago last offseason.

In his first season with the club, Rowand appeared in 109 games with 12 home runs and 47 RBIs. He also had two extended stays on the disabled list, first with a broken nose and then a broken right ankle.

The Phillies now have four outfielders - Rowand, left fielder Pat Burrell, right fielder Shane Victorino and backup Jayson Werth.

The Phillies' Geoff Geary, Chase Utley and Brett Myers are still arbitration-eligible.

The team also claimed infielder Greg Dobbs off waivers from Seattle.

The 28-year old split his time last year between Triple-A and Seattle. He hit .370 (10-27) with three doubles, one triple and three RBI in 37 games with the Mariners. Dobbs began the season at Tacoma and hit .314 with nine home runs and 55 RBI in 99 games.

The Phillies have two open spots on the 40-man roster.
