Williams To Make $5.5M
FANS BUZZING ABOUT BIG YEAR TO COME


March 17, 2063 Forever Land: Keith Williams celebrated a solid spring training performance (.325/.341/.550, 3 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI) by agreeing to a contract that buys out his last arbitration season in 2064. He's due to make $4.1M this year, and to that he'll add $5.5M.

Section 35
"I like getting that stuff out of the way," said Williams as he was signing baseballs to be shipped to the members of "Section 35," his Bikini fan club. "I want to focus on the green," he said, pointing to the infield grass at the Krill's Catalina Island spring baseball complex, "not worry about the green," he added, rolling his eyes and rubbing fingers together.

"That's why the fans love him," commended Misty Morgan, baseball anchor of Forever Land Sports Network, who has been covering the team on the island all spring. "He's always got his nose to the millstone. Sometimes things don't go quite like he'd hope, but no one doubts his effort or his sincerity. The kid loved to play the game."

Williams is getting his wish, having seen 40 plate appearances in spring games, as well as being on a constant Door-to-Door shuttle to the team's development facility on Pain Island, where reports are highly positive about his effort to push his glovework further. "I know I can be better than I've been," Williams said in response to questions about his fielding, which has been under scrutiny for the past season. "I'm trying to get better reads and take more decisive paths to the ball. Hopefully things will come together."

As far as this spring goes, the buzz around Keith Williams is "so far, so good."

In the meantime, fans in Section 35 can breath freely, knowing their hero is on contract for at least the next two seasons.

Difficult to imagine him not being worth that salary but easy to envision him doing 4 WAR and commanding way more than that in arbitration.
