I meant if u plan on resigning them. Don't be so literal
I vote for...- Yes to contracts to take hold the following season - 1- ____ to PEs, I think they should be allowed mid-season and they kick in immediately at the current rate, or next year at next year's rate - 2- No to PEs in the final year of prospect eligibility <-- only if the extension was put forward to the next season - 3- Yes to the 10% home team discount - 4- No to up to 2 weeks to move cap around to re-sign your upcoming FAs - 5
You articulated my point a little better than I did...1. Agree2. Agree3. Agree - if you want the PE rate - it has to go against your budget that season4. Agree5. Disagree - especially if new GMs are taking over a team
I will vote yes to everything so we can get this done.....but i will vote no on one thing. I will settle for extensions kicking in the following year, but if I extend someone in august, whos to say that come dec or jan i might have a good offer and wana move him. in season extensions should be allowed to be traded before 6/1. I understand Dans point that since the salary isnt kicking in till next year that he basically a FA when you are resigning him in season, but seriously its gona put a nice big damper on the fun and flexibility of the off season. Guys do get extensions during the season and are traded in the offseason in the real MLB. That should be allowed.
Corey, here is where the monkey comes into play. Say the Brewers (Sorry again Ben just using your situation as an example) signed all his upcoming FAs to extensions that took hold in the 2011. We are given 24 hours to get our cap in order or face penalty. had he done this in the middle of the season, and had deals lined up for when the season ended, it is exactly like trading a guy that you don't have under contract. We have to be very specific about the ruling that we want to create in order to avoid as many loopholes as possible. I hate to seem like I am fighting you tooth and nail on this one, but it is just how I view it. I would be open to having it earlier, maybe after Type A and B bidding is done. I just think that a decent amount of time of the off-season has to pass before these guys can be dealt. I feel the main point of this rule is to help teams stay together, make players more appetizing/valuable if they are dealt on expiring contracts, and keep teams from accumulating an inordinate amount of talent that they cannot afford, but can turn into valuable pieces.
