Yes.
We should have a promising, albeit maybe not a "competing," team in 2012. And I want to see Zack turn down a guaranteed pile of cash from the team.
Ideally, I'd like to explore trade options from now through 2011, and pull the trigger if floored by an offer. If not, start working on an extension next off-season, and the club will have to pony up *at least* market value. Yeah, that will be pricey, but that's the cost of doing business after years of not trying at the ML level.
