Grizzlies retain 4 through arbitration
Nov. 6, 1999

DENVER - New contracts were handed out yesterday throughout the league via arbitration. The Denver Grizzlies entered the day with six arbitration-eligible players and have kept four under contract for 2000 while non-tendering two.

Star third baseman Jarrod Sims received $7 million for his 2000 contract. The 27-year-old Sims hit .311 with nine home runs and 72 runs batted in last year, and is known for his stellar defense at the hot corner. Sims earned the league minimum last year. Catcher Marcos Alaniz, meanwhile, will make slightly less than last year. The 34-year-old will make $5.1 million, down from $6.4 million last year. Four other Grizzlies - second baseman Victor Aguilar, shortstop Dave Hodges, reliever Britt Hendricks, and outfielder Damon Wilson - received league-minimum contracts for 2000.

The club did not offer arbitration to outfielder Adam Simmons or reliever Alfonso Rodriguez. Simmons, 30, hit .252 with 11 home runs and 37 runs batted in while playing in 88 games. He earned $4.8 million last year. Rodriguez, 31, posted an earned run average of 5.31 in 54 appearances last year, making a salary of $1.4 million.
