By rule Jones would have to be paid as the #7 OF ($17M) because of his stats for this year:

"Contract extensions are based on looking up the player's highest salary per ranking by each eligible position in both the current season and the last season.  If an extension is done during the season and before the trade deadline, then the previous TWO seasons and the current season must be looked at.  In the off-season, the last two seasons will be used.  Therefore...

OFFSEASON (2010-2011): 2009 and 2010 rankings are used
REGULAR SEASON, PRE-JUNE 1ST (2011): 2009, 2010, and 2011 rankings are used
REGULAR SEASON, AFTER MAY 31ST (2011): 2010 and 2011 rankings are used
OFFSEASON (2011-2012); 2010 and 2011 rankings are used"

Proceed?

I inadvertently used Moneyball's rules...no, do not process this extension at this time.  Thanks.
