Vogelsong gets $2M in Pirates deal, $3.1M in bonus chances

Ryan Vogelsong is guaranteed $2 million in his one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates and can earn $3.1 million more in performance bonuses. Vogelsong would receive $100,000 each for 10, 12 and 14 starts under Friday's agreement and can earn $2.8 million under a points system that calls for three points for each start, two for each relief appearance of two innings or more or game finished, and one for each relief appearance less than two innings. Drafted by the Giants in the fifth round in 1998, Vogelsong was traded to Pittsburgh in July 2001 and went 10-20 with a 6.06 ERA in 33 starts and 76 relief appearances.
