They should have extensions for Kinsler, Holland, and Hamilton before spring training. The Holland deals going to be a 5 year contract with a couple team options. Hamilton will be 3 years and Kinsler's will be 4.
I have no problem with any of these contracts but I do think this means the end of Cruz in the future. Hamilton and Cruz are to big of injury liabilities so need to have a DH slot available for either of them at any given time.
I expect the same thing next off season for Harrison, Elvis, and Feliz. That locks up your core for 4 more years but gets you up around $130 million by 2013.
I would mind extending Lewis before this season 3 years $18 very friendly for your top pitcher starting the season in 2012.
