becareful of those mvp/cy young bonuses... tehy don't help nearly as much as you think and in the unlucky chance he wins it's even more expensive for you than me...

i don't like a 1-2M bonus on a 20M contract, let alone 3M on a 4M contract.

i bet ~100k/year is worth more latitude than a big bonus... definitely built in negligible returns because you can't abuse them with any large effect.

even after you get them to change # of years after a couple unsuccessful and close attempts, you can typically still do the longer-term #'s with a bit cut off as usual. (if that's still a preference)... the other way doens't work as well... when they initially demand max years, you can't offer more than 1-2 less until they change their tune.
