Remember some people here (myself included) saying we missed the boat on extending Jansen for like 4/50 or whatever was floated? Comparing him to Sean Murphy.
Pretty much every single young guy that looked good, that we didn’t extend, has turned into a pumpkin. The only guy that looks like an actual talent right now is Vlad, and even his career looked questionable last season.
I think the front office has done pretty well to err on the side of caution and not extend guys early.
Imagine being saddled with huge contracts given out to Bo, Vlad, Manoah, Jansen, Gurriel, Romano, etc.
