Then at ~$10M/year they would probably be WAY under what he'd get in arbitration. The risk, obviously, is that your giving a 20-year old $80M guaranteed before he reaches the bigs, but the payoff could be huge if he turns into a true impact CF like Robert/J-Rod/Acuña (I know he's not in center anymore but he signed a similar extension early on and look what it's done for the Braves)

Yeah, I have seen a lot of this kid throughout last year. Just an interesting strategy is all. Also was reading this will guarantee they won't have to manipulate his service time (wait we can't say that lol) and he could start the season in MLB if he tears it up in spring training.

Hey! That would be AMAZING for you guys!
