Orioles avoided arbitration with RHP Jason Hammel by agreeing to a one-year, $6.75 million deal. The deal also includes $300,000 in available incentives. The deal is right in the expected range between what Hammel filed for and was offered from the Orioles. He's expected to be ready for the start of spring training, and could be a nice sleeper in the later rounds of fantasy leagues after an impressive 2012 campaign.
