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. -
I think Burnes will likely end up with a huge deal. I don't lump him with Snell and Montgomery and what happened with them in the off-season. I think some team will actually give Burnes 7 or 8 years north of 250M dollars. -

He's got 24 K's in 16 MIL innings...and a 1.10 ERA. If he can keep this up for two or three more starts...we might have a real find for the rotation. I hope so. -
