I think you try to lock in surplus value wherever you can. The Brewers are giving that contract to a SS who hasn't hit yet or played MLB because they believe in his floor and if the bat breaks out they have a star SS locked up dirt cheap throughout his athletic prime. Alcantara fits that mold. I think he has a really good floor; hes always gotten high marks for his defense and hes always hit a little above average. Hes had just a little taste, no real success, is out of options after this year and we have 2 COF potentialy leaving. I think it makes a little sense to take a slight gamble on his bat breaking out. I see a 3 win player, maybe similar to Happ in a couple years.
