Repko signs, avoids arbitration
He got a one-year deal for $487,500, a raise of just short of $150,000 from last year's $338,000 despite missing the entire season with a torn left hamstring. He'll compete for the fifth OF spot with Delwyn Young. Joe Beimel and Scott Proctor, the club's only other arbitration-eligible players, are slated to swap numbers with the club today. I'll try to run those down this afternoon.

Comments
Tony, just wanted to point out that Billingsley is much better than a 4th starter (as referenced in today's story). He is at least a #3 and could be #2 by season's end.
