It's easy, and only takes a few moments.We traded Vrabel the day before his bonus was due, so this seems relevant as we continue the offseason. If I haven't made it obvious, I will now. I would much rather have Vrabel on the roster than Jarvis Green.

January 25, 2009 update I am presuming that Green has done enough to earn his $2.3 million escalator for the 2009 season. Green has already done enough to earn $400,000 of the $2.3 million and I am presuming that it is guaranteed. I am presuming that Green has done enough to earn his second 2009 roster bonus because it was based on 2007/2008 playing time. Jarvis played in all 16 games in 2007 and started 10.
According to Miguel's page, it wasn't a roster bonus but an escalator bonus which he feels Green did enough to meet. If it was an escalating performance bonus, there really doesn't matter when it is paid because it becomes guaranteed.

I have twice emailed Albert Elias, Jarvis' agent about this. He has yet to respond.
If the bonus is already to be paid due to meeting the requirement, then Jarvis will likely play through the end of the season.
