Wait a second, I'm not belaboring any point here, you brought it up. All I'm doing is asking why you feel there is no good reason to do that now, not why you feel like it's unlikely to happen. Those are not the same question. You mention an extension is guaranteed money, of course it is. And if he comes up with your .270/.350/.800 number, would you not feel that it was smart to lock him up? Is it not a good idea to lock up your young good players and avoid acrimony through the arb process?
