Around the Majors: Isringhausen gets an extension

1) The Cardinals re-signed P Jason Isringhausen to a 3 year, $25.75 million contract extension, with an option for 2008. The contract replaces his current one, which would have expired at the end of the season.

After 2.48 ERA/10 RSAA and 2.36 ERA/8 RSAA seasons, Isringhausen had a 2.87 ERA/11 RSAA in 74 games. He has a 3.72 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.36, and 30 RSAA in 385 games.


If you enjoy the ATM reports and want to support them, check out my other creation–the sabermetric baseball encyclopedia. Orders are now being taken for the next edition, which will include the 2004 stats and is currently shipping. It’s powerful, yet extremely easy to use. Features extensive sorting, stat display options, and features that are not available in online and printed sources. The deluxe package has been greatly expanded, making it a much better bargain.

According to Peter Gammons, “There is no greater baseball tool than Lee Sinins’ Baseball Sabermetric Encyclopedia. Get thee to Baseball Immortals and order the disc, haste post haste.” The product Jayson Stark called “the best invention since the toaster oven!” has gotten even more powerful.
