Supposedly they are trying to to somthing similar with Chad Tracy. I think this is the wrong time to extend Tracy. He had an average year in 04 and what could have been a career year in 05. He's bound to regress this season and he isn't even arb eligible till 07.

Webb is a damn good sign, congrats Kutulu.
Tracy isn't bad, I think he's a hit or miss superstar. Personally, I believe he'll be huge.
Az. definately has some young talent, and it's good to see they are working to keep key players. Since Cincy doesn't seem to even want to try and compete*, perhaps we'll (Cle.) see you in the Series soon. AZ and Cle are just a key player or 2 from truly reaching that plateau.
*(Cincy has a horrendous GM that doesn't know who to spend money on (Milton? when they could have had Millwood) or a player's worth and the talent he can get (the Casey trade).)
