Jayson Werth Re-Signed

Outfielder Jayson Werth, who as a backup and platoon right-fielder hit .298 this season, was signed to a 1-year, $1.7 Million dollar contract, avoiding arbitration. This figure seems about what he'd get from arbitration, maybe a bit less considering Werth's often-underlooked batting average from last season. Werth will probably be a part of a platoon in right-field with Geoff Jenkins, although Jenkins will probably recieve more playing time.
