Dbacks are making interesting moves, good news for dbacks fans.

ken kendrick said something the other day about wanting to win more than anything and how he was getting older every day kind of thing, and if it meant spending money to win, so be it. this explains the “win now” mentality. I myself wish we had somehow resigned Jose Valverde, but otherwise I can’t argue with the money they have spent this offseason.

The Justin Upton Extension is one of the top 5 best team friendly contracts in Baseball
1. Evan Longoria
2. Grady Sizemore
3. Curtis Granderson
4. Justin Upton
5. Franklin Gutierrez

I would put Upton above Granderson. Maybe Gutierrez, also. While Granderson certainly has a team friendly contract, Upton is WAY more talented than Granderson, and much younger. Gutierrez is comparable to Granderson in terms of talent (personally, I like Gutierrez more), but is younger and makes 1MM less a year. But I guess you could argue that Granderson’s contract is better because it has one more year on it than Gutierrez’s.

I agree with Gutierrez, but not Upton. The Mariners added risk by guaranteeing him those years and money, and it doesn’t seem likely Gutierrez would’ve gotten much more had the Mariners gone year-to-year in arbitration.
Plus, Gutierrez has really only had one good season. Granderson has had multiple.

The reason I didn’t put Justin higher is cause he is getting way more money than Granderson and Gutierrez.

Okay, I get that. I’m just saying that Upton could have one of the best contracts in the majors by the time it’s over. The guy is a freak talent. He amazes me everyday. And he’s only 22! But I guess I’m biased, so I can’t really say anything.
By the way, I think Granderson should be replaced by Braun on your list.
