| 18th April, 2008 - 2:49 pm | Los Angeles Times - Rafael Furcal is in the final season of a three-year, $39 million contract with the Dodgers and is having a nice season.
"I felt insecure at the plate last year because I was hitting on one leg," he said. "My ankle didn't help me especially on the left side. This year, I feel surer of myself."
Furcal hopes to remain with the Dodgers but isn't particularly focused on getting a new contract done.
His agent Paul Kinzer visited Dodgers' General Manager Ned Colletti during spring training and has had a few follow-up conversations.
Kinzer said the 30-year-old Furcal was looking for a long-term deal that would allow him to "finish his career there."
"There's no deadline," Kinzer said. "We'll give them every opportunity to sign him."
Said Colletti, "We want him to be a Dodger, so at some point in time, we'll sit down and sort it out."
RealGM Note: Furcal currently 'deserves' to make about $11.4 million based on his 2008 performance to date. [READ] |
