I was under the impression that the extension started the year after the current contract ends. Didn't we sort all of this out in the 23+ page thread?
My bad, just noticed that in the rules...you are correct. However with prospect extensions, I think they should take hold the year after if you want the discount. Usually extension handed out to players with limited MLB time is to buy out arb years and FA years, not the guys entire prime. With Ike, if the contract took hold after his current year, he would be eligible to hit FA until 2019. If we are voting, I vote for following year.
