I'd offer Crede 3 yrs, 16 million after the season, and hope to see him in his peak years at 3rd base. Even though Crede could possibly get more after next season, he could also make himself a lot less if he hits .220 next year with 16 homers and has more back problems.
No way. I'd give him a 1 year deal, and see what happens. If he puts up a good 1st half, I'd try to give him a 3 year extension
