I think a 3 year 22 to 24 million extension would make sense through his prime years for Plouffe.  Plouffe would have lifelong security and we should get a discount for that contract.  I am not saying they should do that but if they do extend him that should be the range.  I do not think they should extend him beyond 3 years though unless its with an option the Twins can easily decline.
