I think we're going to be still talking about this well into 2013. Before I think of extending him for any years, he has to show improvement in the home run department, regardless of what his slugging pctge currently is. Also since I don't usually have a chance to throw in Sabrestuff, his WAR is only 2.6.... Only .1 higher than it was last year when he had his worst year as a Met.
Edited to add : his Owar is 2.6, his overall WAR is 2.5 so far.

Now if we can only get rid of the Wilpons and replaced them with Mark Cuban the STO master plan can be complete!

WAR is cumulative.

Well he is hitting .370/.470/.570. That can't continue, but would obviously be a career year if it did. Realistically though, he really could be a 5-6 WAR guy right now, and would maybe taper off to a 2 WAR guy by age 35.

This is the same storyline that happens with every contract/extension. Player wants 2 years more than seems reasonable. Team wants 2 years less. The issue is whether they can agree to settle in the middle or one has the other so far over the barrel that they don't have to budge.
