My phone calls to Borowski's agents haven't been returned, and the Phillies are mum on the subject. So, for now, there's nothing new on Borowski's seemingly failed physical.But here's some additional info on his injury history: The Marlins paid Borowski a base salary of $327,000 last season, which is the major-league minimum. The contract was littered with bonuses based on the number of games he pitched, starting at 10 games and maxing out at 60 games. Borowski earned all possible bonuses by early September and made a total of $1.05 million last season.
So, clearly, the Marlins fretted that he was an injury risk when they signed him. In their case, the gamble paid off. But, this year, Borowski is seeking a much more lucrative contract. Would you rather gamble with $327,000 or $8-10 million?
More later.
