This back injury stuff was going on last year. I’m guessing that his starter days are either over or at least numbered. I would baby him now and set a time line for after the AllStar break. I also wouldn’t try to extend him with any kind of starter money, that gamble is too risky for a small market team. Votto’s future production to money ratio will be bad enough.
