It shouldn't. Glass would be wise to make sure that the club remains competitive, butts are in the seats, and eyes are tuned in. Otherwise, all that leverage is pissed away by the time they get to the negotiating table.

Better to incur more than usual debt leading up to the new deal so it's a hot product. Even still, Gordon is still not a wise investment for extended years. If you overpay, it should not be going to essentially dead money like you currently have to deal with in Omar. Not that I think Alex is ever going to turn in a year like he did at 2B last year.

In fact, his performance was so bad last year and to a lesser degree the year before, I don't know if you could turn in a worse one?

Part of me has this strange premonition he's going to quietly turn in a solid year - nothing glitzy , but under the radar strong?

The other part of me thinks I'm an idiot for that previous paragraph.

As such, I'd swap Moustakas and Escobar in your consideration. I also need to see Cain maintain the XBH power this season before I'm comfortable extending him (because his O is eventually going to have to carry him if you extend beyond current years of control).

I'll give you the "significant injury" in 2015, but his wrist injury in 2014 can't be classified as such, IMO.

If you play a full season through an injury, it's not "significant."

Regardless, your point still has merits. From a financial/long-term perspective, Alex Gordon at $15 million/year for 5 years makes sense. At 90? Not so much.

5/75 is exactly what I would offer him.

Royals marathon. Moose !!!!!!!

Just aired the AL Central clinching game on FSKC. Still can't believe we held off the Twins.

Did the Twins win today?

Ned went easy on them and the season is slipping away!!!11 We're going to lose in the 1st round.

Game 1 of the World Series is going into extra innings right now. That HR from Gordon still gives me chills even though I know it's coming. So clutch!
