My 24 year old CF Dave Clark is arbitration eligible and it was going to be north of $1 million or so, and I approached him about a long term deal. He asked for 10 years and $24 million. Frankly, the amount is great, but I only wanted to go 8 years in case he busts.
22 yr-17 hr 66 rbi .279/.350/.430 4 WAR
23 yr-28 hr 83 rbi .258/.360/.483 5 WAR
(pace)24 yr-35 hr 87 rbi .270/.340/.601 4.3 WAR (out for 5 weeks midseason)
So, 8 years and $17 million later and he's locked up until he's 32.
