    Quite the interesting list of MLB Contract Clauses.

    Examples:

    Chien-Ming Wang gets a $50,000 bonus if he wins the Silver Slugger this year. He's gone 0-14 in his career.

    Six Pirates (Matt Diaz, Lyle Overbay, Garrett Atkins, Kevin Correia, Scott Olsen, and Ronny Cedeno) have World Series MVP bonus clauses.

    Will Ohman, Jesse Crain, and Takashi Saito have incentive clauses for starting the All Star Game.

    Adam Dunn has an incentive clause for winning a Gold Glove.
