Reds should follow Rockies lead, sign Phillips long term

As reported earlier today, the Rockies are close to signing Troy Tulowitzki to a 6 year $30 million deal. I believe the Reds should follow the Rockies example and sign Brandon Phillips long term. Phillips is young and can be the face of the franchise for years, not to mention his extreme talent and capabilities. By locking him up long term, the Reds solidify their middle infield with a gold glove caliber player, as well as add an extremely rare 30/30 second baseman to their lineup.
