I have watched the guy play some and he has a great arm, i would see no problem with him making the transition to third later in his career.

Oh wel, at least we have Longoria locked up for a few years yet

They obviously took away that their only bad contracts were with pitchers. Middle infielders can seriously decline in their 30′s, so maybe they see Tulo as their 3B in 5 years.

The bad side of deals like this always seem to come out when the terms are guaranteed. Rick DiPietro anyone?

At least Tulowitki’s not throwing from the mound every five days because long-term deals with pitchers are even higher risks. Maybe Troy will be the one that succeeds.

When they don’t have to make a decision for another several years? This seems like a very bad idea. And I love Tulo!
