I want to lock him up as much as anybody. I just don't wanna be ridiculous about it. For the majority of his short career he's been pretty good to really good. I'm not sure he's a game changer though. That assessment could easily change this year. Either way, it's nice to have options. They can tag him for 2 seasons if something can't be worked out, and if he walks... We probably got his best seasons out of him anyway. Again... I wanna keep him too.
