Tigers avoided arbitration with OF Austin Jackson by agreeing to a one-year, $3.5 million contract.

He receives a nice bump in salary as a first-time arbitration-eligible player. It's a well-deserved raise, as Jackson bounce back with a big 2012, batting .300/.377/.479 with 16 home runs while playing Gold Glove-caliber defense in center field.
