Ill, thats the same thinking that led us to delay resigning berkman to an extension and he ended up costing A LOT more. ensberg can be had a relative discount NOW, if he has another season like this one thats several more million/year for him easy. oswalt is worth 10/year in this market easy, EASY, so thats no question. with ensberg there really isnt a risk, he had a bad half season in 04, but thats it, college and minors he tore up, and he did it last year, its not a fluke by any means whatsoever, hes only getting better.

*and the iceberg comment, look at biggio and bagwell's first couple of postseasons
