The rest of the incentives are triggered by plate appearances \u2014 $350,000 each for 400, 450 and 500 PAs, $400,000 for 550, and $550,000 for 600.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/mlb\/players\/6063\/career;_ylt=Ai7IYZaLUXMZ9FGztnLZLpSFCLcF\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/mlb\/players\/6063\/career;_ylt=Ai7IYZaLUXMZ9FGztnLZLpSFCLcF', 'Glaus');\" target=\"_blank\">Glaus<\/a> will play 1B, and most likely bat in the 4th spot between Chipper and McCann.  The Braves continue to build their roster, attempting to save a nickel, by signing older, possibly injury prone players.  Seems a tad bit risky to me, but if Glaus stays healthy, makes a decent transition to 1B, he could be good for 25+ HRs, which would make the middle of the order extremely potent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the pending signing of Troy Glaus is old news, he finally passed his physical, agreed to terms, and made his 1 year, $1.75 million contract official.
