What Bates has done both on the field and off simply can't be measured. Can this be found elsewhere? Sure it probably can but these are huge costly chances that are being taken by a team that got to the SB.
And too many simply fail to understand the 2nd/3rd affects of giving a player a big payday. IF we pay Bates expect to lose Bell.
I feel we'll do them similar to what we did with JJo and Leon. "Here's a 3 year $36 Mil contract/extension. First come, first served".
