FWIW (probably little), both Teheran and Simmons have the same agents (SFX).

I could def see payroll goin up to about $130. Even more if we could rework our tv deal. Simmons, Minor, Heyward, Upton would be the order I would work the next extensions. This all gives Wren a clear picture of our payroll for the next 5 years or so. Don't be surprised to see him target an ace at the deadline either.
For those saying Kimbrel is more tradeable.
Why would they sign him to this deal with the new ballpark coming.
Everyone knows Kimbrel is a huge fan favorite, why trade him for a few prospects?
I'd wait on Minor.
We cant sign Heyward until next offseason but i would have it at.
Simmons, Heyward, Minor, JUp.
Minor has 4 years of control left i think.
Simmons i try to get before Opening Day leaving those three to keep him, or two.
Regards to an ace, i wouldnt count on it.
Nice deal...never thought they'd be able to afford Kimbrel...glad I was wrong, and glad he was willing to sign for this.

I don't remember too many complaints the consensus was that Lowe was still good and without him we don't make the playoffs in 2010

It's a good question.
But what if he has a very good year offensively and will cost more to sign?
Not bad to try to sign him now at a little discount (Longo's first, MadBum, Goldy among others) were discounts.
Im not sure what type of numbers are being thrown out though, years as well.
CK's deal appears to have a decent amount of incentives.
Maybe we can do that with Simmons. Lock him down and then use incentives to pay him for offense if it comes. If they do, I just hope they use OPS vs avg or HR.
People show up to watch CK. When he comes out of the pen....the camera phones come out.
Like others have stated.....worst case scenario, the team falls apart somehow and needs to start over in 3 years, it's a very tradeable contract to potentially get a nice package in return. Hopefully that isn't the case and he's here for at least all 5 years and a few more division crowns.
