I think you have to lock Burly up for ~5 years

[ggnoobs]

I think the Cardinals real competitive window will open in 2028, and I think you want Burly for that window. As it is 2028 would be his walk year. I think sign him through 2031 and then let him walk at 32 years old. He's only gotten better each of the previous few seasons. The guy can just plain hit and I think you want/need him to be in the lineup when the window opens.

5/100?

With salaries being as crazy as they are hard to put a finger on the numbers but yes they need to extend him in the off season.

I also believe he improved at first base also. I like watching him bat because he hits so many pitches that aren't strikes. The home run yesterday was a pitch out of the strike zone.

I agree on 4 or 5 years on a contract.

The window is open now.
Not fully opened, but enough to feel the breeze blowing.
As for an extension with Burleson, he has a say in the matter.
And the year he is producing, he may have cause to decline any such conversation with FA just 2 seasons away.
One thing is certain.
The starting price for the dialogue has risen exponentially over the past 4 months.

The Cardinals have something now they haven't had in the past; a player may want to stay here because they can see a strong future with the bulk of the team being pretty much the same.

He's headed into his age 28 season

He's become the best hitter on the team and his stock is still on the upswing.

I'd have no issue seeing him get a $90-100M/5 yr deal w/a sixth year mutual option.

Ok. "So let it be written. So let it be done."

what crime?

[TheFantasyStud]

If we lock up burly the core is going to be a big core

1) Wetherholt
2) Herrera
3) Burleson
4) Walker
5) Rodriquez
6) Baez
7) Baez
Pete ?
9) Winn

Should be beautiful with a major focus on perfecting the pitching staff being our biggest objective and hurdle.

Murdering the baseball

I wish Burly hit LH pitching better, but he’d still be worth the contract extension. I’d like to see Herrera or Bernal play 1B against LH SP’s though.
