The Cardinals announced on Saturday that they have agreed to a one-year
contract with reliever Kyle McClellan, avoiding arbitration. The club did not
disclose McClellan's salary.
McClellan, 26, is coming off his best year in the Major Leagues. The
right-hander posted a 2.27 ERA in 75 1/3 innings, striking out 60 against 23
walks in 68 appearances. He set personal bests in ERA, games finished,
strikeouts and WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched). He made $425,000 in
2010 but was due for a raise from that in his first year of arbitration
eligibility.
"Obviously avoiding a hearing room was something that we felt was very
important," general manager John Mozeliak said on Saturday. "It was something
that over the last week we've worked a lot on to try to get to where we are
today. I'm pleased that we were able to work this out. Certainly he's
accomplished a lot over the last three years."
McClellan has established himself as a pivotal part of the Cardinals'
bullpen. After competing for a rotation spot in each of the past two seasons,
he will be limited to relief duty only for 2011.
"When you think about how arbitration is defined, length and consistency is
always one of the key components," Mozeliak said. "And I think the one thing
you would all agree, that's something he displayed over the first three years
of his career. Really happy for him and his family and I know he's excited
about it as well."
Mozeliak said that the club and McClellan's agent had some conversation about
the possibility of a multi-year deal, but that those talks didn't get very
far.
The Cardinals have not gone to an arbitration hearing since 1999, when they
won their case against left-hander Darren Oliver.
