Question

Is there an advantage to signing players to long term contracts during the year,rather then waiting until the offseason?

Re: Question

I guess it would depend on whether or not they're a free agent or not.

Then again, say for instance a player is not having a good first 2 months of the season, you could probably extend him for what you want to, but then again say he catches fire in June and is tearing the league up the rest of the year, he may demand more money to resign after the season.

Re: Question

Plus, if a guy is sucking, why would you want to extend his deal? It will be harder to trade him if he's having a horrible year and he's making lots of money. And remember, ratings don't win games, it's what they do on the field that wins games. If you have two B- guys, which in my opinion are pretty good players, but their hitting .230, they're just not helping you win games. We see great players have bad years...Juan Gonzalez averaged over .300 and 40+ hrs for 5 straight years, then last season hit only 8 Hrs and 30 RBI. He's very close to a hall of famer, and a good player, but no where near what he should have produced last year.
Plus you might need your money to take on a trade later in the year or sign a free agent. The way I look at it, if a guy is willing to play for 8 points this year, why sign him and pay him 17 points to pllay this year? Sign the free agents at the end of the year, you'll have flexibility in your organization this way.
But hey, its your 50 bucks, do with it what you wish.
