PEs were also put into place to help small market teams, yet only two people have taken advantage of the rule, and one is the richest team in the league.
I think PE's are a great thing, I was one of the people that pushed for it. What I was saying is that if we were to do extensions for players that take hold the following year, then if you are offering a PE that takes hold the following year, then you should receive the lesser percentage. Or the percentage that would take hold the year his extension starts. I personally think any prospect extension should be done during the off-season, but that is just me, I am not offering it up as a rule. For instance if I said, Reds sign Gordon Beckham to a prospect extension. Under what we are discussing, i should have to pay 60% of his value, as opposed to 50% of his value, which would be the case if I signed him to an extension in 2011.
