The Bard's Take: Should the Diamondbacks Extend Pollock?

The Diamondbacks have a second star on their team who is approaching his first year of arbitration. Should they lock him up, or should they take the year-to-year approach?

The Diamondbacks are a blessed organization. Not only do they have Paul Goldschmidt manning first base for them, but they have still-underappreciated A.J. Pollock in center field as well. Pollock entered today with 5.3 fWAR, good for 6th in the NL. His 128 wRC+ ranks him 14th. Baseball-Reference likes Pollock even more, ranking him 3rd in the NL by bWAR among position players, behind only Bryce Harper and teammate Paul Goldschmidt.
