      There are certainly some things he can do that would help him become a firm #3 instead of a #4-5.

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Pickles · Posted

      By that logic, we've developed Rodriguez and Bradish, and we have an exciting you group of positional talent.  So do we need to? Your last paragraph is perfectly reasonable, and not very different from my position.  This team is going to spend more money just by arbitration alone, so yeah, the payroll is going to have to increase.  I totally want them to extend select young players.  And I totally want them to sign FAs that help the team. I do not expect them to spend money at the top of the FA market like the Rangers have done, but the Astros  have not.  I think ultimately a team that makes a lot of sense to emulate is the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Cardinals rarely sign big free agents, but they do occasionally target a pending FA, trade for him using prospects, and then extend him.  Matt Holliday and Nolan Arenado being examples of that.  Those are the biggest splashes I expect the O's to make.  And I'm fine with it.  Making big, expensive moves is radically overrated by most fans in its relation to actually winning baseball games.

      I apologize. I got my threads confused. You are right the thread is about FA usage not extensions.
