I think Duffy's the choice because we only have him for two years after this one. The other prospects are more of a crapshoot, but we still have 6 years control over all of them.
I also don't think our window is that short if we play it right. I agree you have to go for it, because you never know. But if Ventura matures and even one of these other young pitchers turns into something, we'll have something to build on. We have Ventura through 2021 if we want, and I think eventually we'll have Perez for a long time too. I assume if they rework his contract, we'll trade money for control. At least I'd hope so.
