I understand that of course there are costs to simply acquiring a player. But when considering a player extension, as a bit of a thought-exercise...I always ask myself: How much would I pay for this player if I were signing them in free agency? If LVN were not already in-house and available to sign as a free agent - setting aside all the miscellaneous fees and whatnot, would I offer him 15m a year? I would be inclined to look at the market for the past few years and ask if I can get "second starter" production for that same price or less.In a vacuum, I agree with this too. The only thing that I think works in his favor is the injury/depth situation around him, and that we are probably hedging our bets on hoping that he has a good performance with Micah healthy and we're not put in a situation where he's on a lame duck contract and we have to overpay to keep him at that point.</blockquote>
