sin city sox fan Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 With Avi becoming one of the best hitters in all of baseball, should we make the move now to secure him long term? I think we could get a good discount based upon his performance of the last several years. Perhaps something like 6 years / $72 million? $12 million a year could still be a steal for someone capable of winning a triple crown and he's still young enough to be an integral part of our team when the prospects mature. I know some may say I sound crazy......but you have to roll the dice sometimes and this may be a good time to gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) People accuse me of being a troll. Me thinks this is a fake post. Avi is despised on this board. I'd say 90 percent of people on here would be against paying him any more $$ or adding any more years. I mean real money and real years. Obviously people would be OK extending his current chump change contract for 3 mill a year, add 5-6 more years. But real money? No way.

tray Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Avi must relish proving his keyboard critics wrong. That bomb he hit today was 429 feet, I believe - a game winning towering blast against a great pitcher in Yankee stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sin city sox fan Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Those of you poo-pooing the move will regret it if he fetches $25 million per year in the offseason. This could be our chance to lock up a Mike Trout or Bryce Harper type talent for half the dough. It could be instrumental in building that 2020 World Series championship team. Waiting is suicidal. This a move that needs to be made now before its too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-Gun Pete Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yeah, why not? After all, the Tim Anderson extension has worked like a charm so far. Also, lock up Davidson for another 5-6 years, while we're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
