You may get your wish. Really do not think he has peaked yet.

Of course he hasn't, but the question is whether he's going to be Chris Davis or Dallas McPherson.

Darvish is a nasty pitcher tonight.

I do not want him to ever leave this organization.

So you'd give him how many years and for what amount of money.....right now tonight?

The Eph man becomes JD even as we speak.

Sorry.....but IMO, that won't get it done.......This is a crazy world of salaries/years/etc.

Now, would he stay here for this if next up was for $165 and 6. I don't know.

Gonna take more than that to keep him and likely a good bit more to sign him. I would think bare min to extend him is 5/150 and maybe a 6th year with an opt out.

I give him credit for coming out and being direct with his response instead of hem hawing around when pressed on such an issue like some people do though.

Lucroy is going to rebound and net us something nice.

$28m/year would give him the 4th highest starting pitcher average salary in baseball. I think (read: hope) that that figure resides in a sweet spot where he knows he's leaving some money on the table, but he's also being paid comparable to the elites in the game (in some cases, a lot more), and he's also in a place where he is revered and comfortable.
