This team is like Oprah when approaching new contracts for guys in house. "You get a new deal!!! And you get a new deal!!! And you get a new deal!!!..." 
"
"Your contract isn't even up for two years, and you've never gotten in a game, but you get a new deal too!!!"
It's in such stark contrast to their approach on players outside the organization. They approach those potential deals with such caution, and almost never guarantee more than a couple mil, if anything at all. It's so strange that the approach differs so much, only entirely dependent on whether or not the player is in house. It has almost nothing to do with actual risk or value, just whether or not he's worn the jersey before.
I hope it works out for them. And I griped about Andy's deal, which seemed like a huge rush and that worked out. I just wish they'd find some balance though. Maybe be a tad more conservative in re-upping their own, and maybe a tad more progressive in free agency. I mean, you can do both.
