Tue, 30 Jun 2009 10:00:29 -0700

He is also scheduled to make a base salary of $1.9 million in 2009 after signing a four-year, $13.4 million contract extension last year.

"Some more important than others, some just very technical things, and then we continued to work on those as the offseason progressed." Perhaps most important was footwork.
