1, maybe 2 with the team option. It's very similar to what Colorado did with Troy. What's nice (in addition to the 1 or 2 years of FA) is that Arizona knows exactly how much he will cost each season. When you have a budget in the $70-80 million range ($20 mil per are deferred until 2010), it's nice to know that Young will make between $4 and $7 million in his arb years and $8 for his first season of FA eligibility.
