I think there may be an added benefit to contract in that it sends a message to the rest of the Angel core that management is serious about keeping them together. This may encourage them to re-sign with the team without testing the free agent market, and therefore at below-market prices.
If this is true, overpaying Erstad now (and I don't think he is, at least not significantly) may lead to signing Troy Glaus at a bargain price later.
