The 34-year-old hit .280 last season with two homers and 28 RBIs in 236 at-bats, then became a free agent. He was offered salary arbitration by the Brewers on Dec. 1 and accepted the offer six days later, making him a signed player.
In addition to his salary, he would earn a $50,000 bonus if he starts 120 games.
Milwaukee had submitted a $2.8 million figure Tuesday in arbitration, and Graffanino asked for $3.7 million.
Three Brewers remain in arbitration: catcher Johnny Estrada, utilityman Bill Hall and right-hander Claudio Vargas.
Left-hander Chris Capuano agreed to a $3.25 million, one-year deal Wednesday, a day after outfielder Kevin Mench accepted a $3.4 million, one-year contract.
Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press | Not a bad sign, as he did ok the 60 games he played with the Brewers last year after being traded away from KC. His Home runs need to get up as he only hit 2 home runs and 27 RBI in those 60 games. In KC he played 69 games last season getting 5 home runs and 32 RBIs...Not bad pay for someone with ok stats, but he won't be one of the guys that help turn the team around...
