Athletics agreed to terms with second baseman Mark Ellis on a two-year, $11 million contract with a club option for 2011. Ellis will make $5 million in 2009 and $5.5 million in 2010. The A's will be able to bring him back in 2011 for $6 million or buy him out for $500,000. It's a risky move for Oakland. Ellis has played in 130 games twice in seven major league seasons, and it's likely that his shoulder will remain a problem going forward. As an average offensive second baseman and perhaps the game's most underrated defender, he's a bargain at $5.5 million if healthy. However, he simply can't be penciled in to start 140 games.

News: The Athletics secured some stability in the middle of their infield, agreeing Monday on an $11 million, two-year contract with second baseman Mark Ellis. The A's also have a club option in the deal that could keep Ellis around through the 2011 season. Ellis gets $5 million next year and $5.5 million in 2010, and the A's have a $6 million option for 2011 with a $500,000 buyout. He can earn an additional $800,000 annually in performance bonuses based on games. "We're really happy to have Mark back," assistant GM David Forst said. "He was honest all season long that he wanted to be back in Oakland after this year. That made it an easy conversation. Mark was an important part of a lot of playoff teams here and has been an important part of all we've done the last seven or eight years. ... We're looking forward to having Mark the next three years, not necessarily opening day."

Analysis: The 31-year-old Ellis is coming off right shoulder surgery last month to repair chips in the cartilage as well as a torn labrum. Ellis has spent his first seven years in the big leagues with Oakland, including 2004, when he was sidelined with an injury to the same shoulder. He batted .233 with 12 home runs and 41 RBI in 117 games for the A's in 2008, a rebuilding year for the young club in which Oakland finished 75-86 and with one fewer win than a year ago. He stole 14 bases and committed only four errors. The A's don't plan to rush him back. Consider him little more than an AL-only Fantasy second baseman on Draft Day. The A's might be confident in his healthy, but we are not

As expected, Mark Ellis has agreed to a two-year extension to remain with Oakland, according to the AP. Specific terms were not disclosed, but the contract reportedly guarantees him around $11 million.The 31-year-old infielder could have declared for free agency after the World Series, but had arthroscopic shoulder surgery last month and had been concerned that might affect his value on the open market. The team is very pleased to retain his services for at least two more seasons.
