signed players

The Texas Rangers signed right-handed starter Brandon McCarthy and six others to one-year contracts Monday.

McCarthy will make $404,810 in 2008 after going 5-10 with a 4.87 ERA last season, when he battled blisters on his pitching hand and a stress fracture in his right shoulder.

The others to sign were pitchers Wes Littleton ($397,510), A.J. Murray ($392,000), Omar Beltre ($390,000) and Alexi Ogando ($390,000); outfielder David Murphy ($393,000); and infielder Travis Metcalf ($392,000).

Four players on the team's 40-man roster remain unsigned: left-handed closer C.J. Wilson, right-handers Thomas Diamond and Robinson Tejeda and outfielder Jason Botts. They are expected to sign before Wednesday's spring opener against Kansas City.

Beltre and Ogando
Do they actually get this money or is it put aside for them on the off chance that they are allowed in the States?  You would think that there is some sort of "restricted" list for this type of circumstance.

Have blue gloves last year as well? I think so. See, what makes CJ truly unique is he's the blue gloved lefty.
