    If JT proves to be what many people think, this contract is a steal. The team is counting on him to emerge as one of the games best young starters and all signs point to just that. He'll be paid roughly 5 million a season on average. Imagine if he turns the corner and develops into our ace. Kudos to Frank on this one. I actually love the extension.

    How often does this happen when I am thrilled?

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Well, technically Teheran was signed as an international free-agent, not drafted, but yes: he's really been handled gingerly by the organization, and this seems to be the culmination of that.

    It isn't about it being a negative overall. It is just risky. The guy is coming off a stressful year. Several of us worry that he won't make it through the year (let alone six or seven) without having arm trouble. There is nothing wrong with stepping back and taking a critical look at the team's deals and needs. Being a fan isn't always about being imperceptive.

    Think about giving this deal to Beachy after 2011 (and you will understand where we are coming from).

    Its 35 million for 6 years. This isn't the kind of deal that kills the team. He could never throw anotger pitch and it wouldn't be as bad as 2 contracts we have now.

    It's about 6-7 per year, not a massive long-term commitment.

    I dont disagree honestly but its a risk to take.

    That's certainly true and all, but it would still be a bad deal. You can't move on from bad deals with the mindset that it doesn't matter what happens because nothing could be as bad as the mistake made with Uggla.

    It's not the same. At least with Ugg amd BJ you know there's a chance of getting back. Teheran could get injured more likely than either bj or dan

    Given how much the arbitration landscape is likely to change in the next few years with the huge amounts of revenues pouring into the game, I honestly can't see how anyone can consider this anything other than possibly the best move Wren's made yet. Teheran's deal is for less money than the Giants gave Madison Bumgarner. If the option is picked up the deal is for roughly $6.35 million per AAV. Medlen makes $5.8 million this year and his number will climb. Jason Hammel's getting $6 million this year. Jason Vargas is getting $7 million.

    Joe Blanton - $7.5 million
    Kyle Kendrick $7.675 million
    Jaime Garcia - $7.875 million
    Trevor Cahill - $7.9 million
    Josh Johnson, Brett Anderson, Phil Hughes, and Jeremy Guthrie - $8 million
    Rick Porcello - $8.5 million
    Scott Kazmir - 9 million

    As for his option year...

    Scott Feldman, Chad Billingsley, and Ricky Nolasco are all making $12 million this year.

    Does anyone honestly not think Julio will outperform every one of those Pitchers? If not, something catastrophic has to happen to keep him from doing so.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Honestly I hope they put some sort of cap on JT. Innings limit isn't as effective as a pitch limit for the season. I don't know what number, but something to try and ease him along is a good idea I think.

    That and the top SP's in baseball make like 20+ mil a year.

    Any longterm deal with pitchers is risky, there is no argument in that but its one to take if you are Frank Wren imo.

    I hate long term contracts for pitchers. I look at it from another perspective however. The days of us going out and snagging another Greg Maddux is probably gone. Long gone. At least we lock up our young talent for a reasonable amount.

    They should've held him back at the beginning of last year. That was a huge mistake that they scrambled to fix in September, and it exploded in their face in the playoffs.

    I get the arbitrary differences.

    However we've done a better job at producing pitching than position players. The money should be prioritized on Heyward or Simmons. As a mid market team I would rather not give these extension this early. Especially after a year in which he was gassed and had a few of the Jorge Houdini outings.
