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.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
