(Reuters) ? The Baltimore Orioles agreed to a one-year contract with Robert Andino, thus avoiding arbitration, following a breakout campaign by the infielder, the Major League Baseball team said on Wednesday.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed but, according to Baltimore media reports, the contract was worth $1.3 million.
Andino, 27, spent much of the 2011 season at second base in place of injured two-time All-Star Brian Roberts and set career-highs in games (139), runs (63), hits (120), doubles (22), home runs (5), runs batted in (36), and stolen bases (13).
He could be the Orioles' starter at second base when the 2012 season opens in April if Roberts has not recovered from concussion symptoms.
