I can only see letting him walk if he's still injured or asking way too much.
The 'can' should be emphasized in my prior post.

ACL injuries tend to hamper performance, and if Rocky can't develop over the next two years because of it, it would be hard to justify giving him an extension.

Either way, Blades gives the team options, but I doubt he will ever start at MLB. Probably too much responsibility for him, even if it was his college position, but I guess that's what we said about Pierce too.
