After just half a season as their closer, Manny Corpas has convinced the Colorado Rockies to give him an $8,025,000, four-year deal that could add up to $22 million with the inclusion of performance bonuses and team options for 2012 and '13.
This marks the longest contract ever given to a Rockies reliever. Way to go, buddy!
The 25-year-old righty played a big part in the club’s first trip to the World Series last season, saving 19 of 20 games and going 4-2 with a 2.08 ERA, the lowest by a reliever in the club's 15-year history. In the postseason, Corpas went 1-0 with 5 saves, holding batters to a .167 average.

Haha! Whose face is he spraying Coors light into? Tasty.
"...and here's your locker. Hey, did you know that this used to be Mike Hampton's locker? True story. Good luck, kid!"
I think it's just a staff member. Still, hilarious.
