Great contract. His bat should play well at home and on the road.
– Dante Bichette, Vinny Castilla, and Garrett Atkins

Basically they garaunteed him market value for his arb years, to get a discount for the free agent years. And that is assuming he performs at an elite level for the next few years. Looking at his home/road splits, just doesn’t seem like a worthy investment.
East Coast Bias
This is a great approach. Team gets a discount on their franchise player, and the player gets TWO big paydays instead of one.

Eh, it doesn’t look like much of a discount. Everything looks like what he could get on the current market in terms of arbitration and free agency years. They could be betting on the market going north again.
This looks like another contract where it looks like the Rockies are trying to motivate their players.

Comparing any contract to the Howard extension will look good. $25 per year for an aging 1B was way too much.
Paul P
Has anybody here ever seen the kid play? He’s a beast oh and he happens to be a pretty good guy. With those skills and Lansford as the hitting coach he will only improve on the road and kill it at home. He is currently one of the top 5 players in the game…oh and he’s 24.
