Do elite Boras clients ever sign huge extensions before they hit FA?
-
Well, I don't think it's a stretch to think the Nationals will be regularly competitive for a while, and unless they simply can't or won't match the highest offer I'd have to think they have the inside track in locking him up long term.

We can do it now.

Source: Castro Agrees to 7/60M Extension (Option Year: 16M)
Sammy Sofa replied to TheClash's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Rizzo's played longer and should know better. Y'know, if we're going by meatball standards. -
Especially since they have a new TV deal coming their way which could potentially add on another $40-$60 million on its own.
-
Why exactly won't the Nats be able to re-sign him?

Castro was getting slammed the first time he made a "major" error. -
I know BR has a football version. I haven't really explored it much. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/

Can't we just throw Theo out the window instead and pretend it was him?

NO, NOT BEER.

I'm not even that outraged by PED's, I just found it funny that someone would find it disgusting and reprehensible to suggest that a record breaking Olympic sprinter would be suspected of juicing it up. Show me this person, so I may mock them as well. I swing a big ass battleaxe.
-
There's "real life impacts" to simply being a professional athlete, so quite frankly I don't care if they choose to use PEDs or not.
-
I mean, really, when the anti-PED people start calling others naive it's adorable. Practically everyone is on something. They still have to be amazing athletes to do amazing things.
-
I'm often on record as saying I don't give a good God damn what any athlete is on; if it means they can do amazing things that entertain me then I welcome it.

So is his chemist I hope he Two-Face's you.

Who said that? Nobody; just making fun of how you think the rest of the season and the postseason are "tangible." "tangible" meaning you know you're in the playoffs this year and you know you're healthy. Neither of those things is guaranteed down the line Of course not. But given how largely young and talented their team is, the money they have, the crappy division they play in and the second WC they'd be stupid to risk Strasburg like that. Plus making the playoffs is by no mean a guarantee to win, so let's stop with this irrelevant "tangible" garbage. The bottom line is that you think the risks of not making the playoffs in the coming years outweigh the risk of taxing Strasburg this season.

Oh, right, I forgot they were a lock to win the WS if they don't shut him down.

Everyone wants to see him pitch in the playoffs. Derwood thinks he should pitch the rest of the year, precautions be damned. I think the Nats should try to win when they're in the best shape to win, not purposely handicap themselves so maybe just maybe someday they might have another chance. What does the bold part even mean? How are they definitively in the best shape to win now as opposed to over the next several years?
-
That's a terrible analogy. Why would pitching Strasburg another 30-40 innings be equal to an nearly 100% chance of getting your fingers chopped off? And if anyone knows terrible analogies it's this guy. But yeah, that was awful.

Wait, you're accusing other people of propping up strawmen? He's not just their ace; he's their very young ace coming back from major surgery who has never pitched nowhere near the amount of innings he'll pitch this year. I'm not implying this is your position. I'm simply asking the question. You're asking the question of whether we'd be "cool with shutting our ace down." That can mean a lot. If you're asking if the Cubs were in the Nationals' spot and they had Strasburg would I want them to do the same? Absolutely. To add to this, I'd be amazed at any Cubs fan who wouldn't want them to do the same given what they went through with Prior.

Yeti's the only one who came close to saying that, and even then he said it was "likely." Everyone else is talking about it as what it is: a precautionary measure.
