…for the record, would vest if he recorded 625 plate appearances this season, or 1150 plate appearances between 2007 and 2008 with at least 600 coming in 2008.

I’m just throwing this out there, because I think I had been relaying incorrect figures in the past.  Larry Stone had the scoop back in May.

Not counting tonight’s game, Vidro has 325 plate appearances so far this season.  He has 950 plate appearances between 2007 and 2008, meaning he needs 280 more plate appearances this season in order for his 2009 option to vest. 

There are 51 games left this season, so he’d need 5-6 plate appearances per game in order for the option to vest, which is impossible.  Hopefully he won’t be around all season, but at least if he does we know he won’t be back next year.
