Maybe I don't have $5mm I'm already sitting on to keep me comfy, but if it were me, I'd jump at that. Just sayin'.<br /><br />But you're right Bret, I didnt realize Boras was his agent. Could be tough to get this done...<br /><br />(The $90mm assumes 1 yr of arbitration salary is already in the bag)<br /><br />Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-6559682312827703202013-06-03T14:40:56.237-04:002013-06-03T14:40:56.237-04:00I would do that in a heartbeat if I were O's b...I would do that in a heartbeat if I were O's but doubt Boras would go for it. If Davis proves this is real and plays out arbitration he will get 20 mill easy per year. If Wieters keeps hitting .237 with no improvement he can kiss his big contract goodbye.Bretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-57342305054409657562013-06-03T14:37:24.800-04:002013-06-03T14:37:24.800-04:00Wouldn't Bautista's 5/$65 deal be the best...Wouldn't Bautista's 5/$65 deal be the best comp for Davis?<br /><br />Bautista was a year older and a year closer to free agency, so would something along the lines of buying out CD's 2 arb years for $21mm plus a 5/$80 extension make sense?

He will only be 29 in the offseason he becomes a FA, same as Wieters. At this rate I would guess he doubles Wieters' dollars easily, maybe 2.5. I'd give him 20 before I'd give Wieters 10, let's put it that way.Bretnoreply@blogger.com
