can you not read? i never said there was anything wrong or unusual with giving out pre-arb extensions. i said HIS extension was unwarranted. and idiotic. i think it's fine -in some cases.

Again even the ones that don’t work out cover the ones that do.

For example, Tampa was at the forefront of this trend when they extended Evan Longoria for 6 years after all of 6 games.  His deal had a potential value of $44mill if all his incentives, etc. hit.

3 years later, the Rays extended Matt Moore for 5(?) years $15mill.  Moore never panned out as expected.  But Longoria was easily worth the entire $60mill and then some.  And had the Rays waited, they very likely pay up much more for Longoria alone…
