GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Ryan Garko, who tied All-Star Grady Sizemore for the team lead in RBIs last season with 90, was among 16 players who agreed Tuesday to one-year contracts with the Cleveland Indians.

Garko will be paid $446,100 in the majors and $252,100 in the minors.

All of the players who reached agreements did not have enough service time to be eligible for arbitration. Every player on the Indians' 40-man roster is under contract.

Garko, 28, hit .273 with 14 homers and 90 RBIs in his second full season as Cleveland' first baseman. He overcame a slow start by batting .352 with six homers and 34 RBIs over his final 36 games after Aug. 14.

In addition to Garko, starting second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera ($416,700/$194,500), starting left fielder Ben Francisco ($421,400/$204,00) and key relievers Rafael Perez ($436,300/$244,100), Jensen Lewis ($418,600/$198,300) and Joe Smith ($427,500/$238,800) also reached agreements.

Cabrera began the 2008 season as the Indians' starter at second base, but hit only .184 and was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on June 9. He returned to Cleveland on July 18 and batted .320 with three homers and 33 RBIs over his final 61 games.

Perez is currently pitching for Venezeula in the World Baseball Classic. In his second full season in the Indians' bullpen a year ago, the lefty went 4-4 with two saves and a 3.54 ERA in 73 appearances. He struck out 86 in 76 1-3 innings.

Lewis took over the closer's role down the stretch after Joe Borowski was released and went 13-for-13 in save situations in 2008. The right-hander will return to a setup role this year as Cleveland signed free agent closer Kerry Wood to a two-year, $20.5 million contract in December.

Smith, a sidearm right-hander, was acquired in a trade from the New York Mets in December. A year ago, the 24-year-old went 6-3 with a 3.55 ERA in 82 outings — including 5-0 with a 1.54 ERA after Aug. 28.

Also reaching agreements were right-handers Edward Mujica, Hector Rondon and Juan Salas, left-handers Zach Jackson and Scott Lewis, infielders Andy Marte and Luis Valbuena, outfielder Trevor Crowe, infielder-catcher Chris Gimenez and catcher Carlos Santana.
