Brewers Avoid Arbitration, Sign Graffanino

Tony Graffanino and the Brewers agreed Friday to a $3.25 million, one-year contract, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing.

The 34-year-old hit .280 last season with two homers and 28 RBIs in 236 at-bats, then became a free agent. He was offered salary arbitration by the Brewers on Dec. 1 and accepted the offer six days later, making him a signed player.

Fingers Disputes Tax Delinquency Status

Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers disputed his status as one of Wisconsin's largest tax delinquents, insisting in an online journal that he had income taxes withheld from every paycheck when he played for the Brewers in the 1980s.

"The Brewers went through (archives) and found that every paycheck issued to Rollie Fingers while he was a member of the Brewers had state income taxes withheld," read an entry dated Jan. 8 on RollieFingersSportsBlog.com.
