Only the ironing out of small details stands in the way of a historic contract with shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.
In a deal first reported in The Denver Post, the Rockies and Tulowitzki have agreed to the parameters of a six-year, $30 million contract with a club option for a seventh season, the largest given a big leaguer with less than two years' experience.
It mirrors the contract structure given in 2006 to Cleveland Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore, who held the previous salary record at six years, $23.45 million with a club option. A source close to the Tulowitzki negotiations repeated this weekend that a deal "is close."
If the club option is exercised, Tulowitzki would remain with the Rockies through 2014, casting him as the future face of the franchise. It figures to be a big week for the precocious 23-year-old shortstop. He is also poised to wrap up significant endorsement deals, a novelty for Rockies players who, other than Todd Helton and Matt Holliday, are not widely recognized nationally.

This is AWESOME!!! Giving Tulo a long term deal is a brilliant move. Even as a rookie, he was a standout leader in the clubhouse. Down the stretch, it became more and more apparent how important Tulo was to the team. Now he'll be a centerpiece in the lineup for years to come. Hopefully, after the 2009 season, he'll be able to help convince Matt Holliday to stay in purple pinstripes. I'm so pumped about baseball right now. It's too bad that pitchers and catchers don't report for another 25 days. Maybe I'll go call my brother to see if I can crash at his place during spring training...
