Sunday Rockpile: Renck asks who's next on the long term commitment list?

PrintTroy Renck argues that Jhoulys Chacin might be next in line among Rockies for a multi-season extension, following the pattern set by the team in locking up other young arbitration eligible players. Chacin's not a bad choice, and I'd probably tend to agree given that the one other likely option for this type of contract would be Dexter Fowler, and the chances of him signing a multi-season pact before free agency diminish significantly with Scott Boras as an agent. While you can go ahead and click on the link to read more about Chacin's situation (O'Dowd says it's not going to happen just yet) this got me to thinking about how likely that it would be that Fowler would be open to such an extension and willing to buck the Boras trend and advice ala Carlos Gonzalez last winter.
First of all, the background is that Fowler's set to reach free agency in advance of the 2016 season. 2016 is distant enough that even with Boras as an agent, there is a decent chance that Fowler signs a three year pact next winter to give the Rockies some cost certainty with the center fielder through his arbitration years. Fowler would have to produce above his last two seasons' production in 2012 obviously to make this happen, but at that point it's a matter of how much a stretch it would be to add a season or two to the contract. Given that Fowler will be 30 at the time of his current projected entry into the open market, it already might be a stretch as he'd want to maximize that first free agency contract, and it might be undesirable for the Rockies anyway to lock a declining player too deep into their fourth decade. That said, with Gonzalez in tow until 2017, I would think the Rockies might want to try to keep Fowler around at least through the same period.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rockies push for a three year contract plus a fourth year, fairly lucrative option should Fowler have a strong 2012.
Renck also talks about a humidor in Colorado Springs, which apparently isn't going to happen this upcoming season, but needs to fairly soon if the Rockies want to have the Sky Sox as anything more than an extended bench. Developmentally for the big league club, the place remains mostly useless in its current state.

I wouldn't have any issue with signing Dex after this season
Not sure after that If Dex was open to a 4 year team option 5th year deal I would consider that. That would give us a fairly solid base over the next 4-5 years and let the team focus more on rotaion needs through the off season.
Why isn't the Colo Spring humidor a no-brainer?
Obviously, there’s a consideration to this that is not obvious. Baseball-wise, it’s nothing but a positive, and I don’t know how you can argue with that. They aren’t THAT expensive, are they?
by BostonTransplant on Jan 29, 2012 10:29 AM MST reply actions
These are my thoughts exactly
Regardless of one’s thoughts on DOD’s moves over the years, I think it’s hard to argue that he’s not an intelligent man. He must see the value of the humidor in terms of making the Springs more useful as evaluation/development (even more the case right now given our plethora of fringe-MLB/high-minors level young talent (especially pitching)). Why would you so willingly deprive yourself of a tool that’s at the disposal of every other team in the sport except for ours?
And however much a humidor would cost, I think it’s safe to assume that it wouldn’t be THAT big an item for 9-figure-a-year-in-revenue operation like the Rockies. I think this would be true even if the Rockies aren’t committed to the Springs in the long term.
Putting those two things together, I just don’t understand why this hasn’t already happened. Actually, the fact that it hasn’t has led me to the conclusion that I must be missing something here, because I do, in the end, respect the intelligence of the Rockies’ brass.
I just wish they’d explain it to me.

by Gasstation1 on Jan 29, 2012 11:03 AM MST up reply actions
It's not DOD's call.
Over the summer, the issue was that the Rockies wanted the Sky Sox to pay for it. The Sky Sox didn’t want to pay for it. The issue is probably that they won’t be able to take it with them if the Rockies ever leave the Springs.

by DumbAndNerdy on Jan 29, 2012 1:38 PM MST up reply actions
Good clarification...
But my comments were really more about the Rockies brass in general rather than DOD in particular. Whoever makes the final call, the same reasoning applies: I respect thier intelligence, remain confused as to why this hasn’t already happened, and would love to hear a complete/plausable explaination. I guess I’m saying that the Sox/Rox-who-pays just doesn’t seem relevent enough to me to affect the final decision.
I realized its easy for me to say “who cares who pays” when its obviously not my money. But for the Rox own self-intrest, whether the Sky Sox share the cost or not, and whether the Rockies could move the thing or not, in the grand scheme of things I just can’t see the cost of a humidor outwieghing the benefit of (at least partially) reclaiming the Springs as a (at least somewhat more) usable/normal AAA affiliate.

Can’t they keep a certain amount of rubbed-up AAA baseballs in the Denver humidor? It would have to better than nothing.

Unless Fowler starts hitting for some power, he’s the kind of player that I think it’s risky to keep around into his 30s (see Carl Crawford). Might as well move him for maximum value if he has a solid 2012.

Exactly.
Two factors for me:
1) if the Rockies make the playoffs in 2012. If they do, and Fowler performs well, they might look to extend him. If not, I could see a trade.
2) How Blackmon and Wheeler develop this year. Very skeptical of Wheeler right now, not sure he’s a full-time big leaguer. Blackmon shows more promise, IMO. If he has a good season as a 4th OF/off the bench type, I look to give him the job next season.
Lots of factors though. But trading Fowler to improve the team next offseason shouldn’t be written off.

Honestly, what the hell is the hold up with the humidor? Trying to get a read on our AAA is impossible. Players making it to AA are jumping for joy while the “better” prospects (pitchers at least) are getting stuck in the springs playing pre-humidor era ball.
