Erick Aybar hasn't received a contract extension from the Angels, but he still hopes to remain with the team over the long-term. The two sides discussed an extension over the offseason, but they weren't able to come to terms. Instead, they avoided arbitration with a $5.075 million contract for 2012. "I think it would be important for me to be here my whole career, because I came here from the Dominican and they've always supported me," Aybar said in Spanish. "But let's see what happens. ... If they give me the opportunity to stay here, I'll accept that opportunity. I want to win. I want to win a ring, and this year we're in position to do that."
