I'll gladly take the discounted salary and the minimal risk associated to it if it means I play the guy from day 1. That extra production matters in a close division race. And even if I wait till the player has 4 or 5 years of service I'm still not concerned with my ability to extend them in ootp. There is no upside to delaying service time here. The extra year of control isn't worth it here. It's trying to copy mlb teams but we don't have the same consequences here.

If anything i test my prospects in August even if they're close but not fully developed (45-50 ovr) to see if they can handle a full time spot for April. Especially if they have to be added to the 40 man the next year.
