i would love the ability to resign at a high price for 1 or 2 years. Kind of like a franchise rule. sometimes the way resign tag lines up you would love to use one but it would put your franchise in a serious bind a year or two down the road.

I know, 3, 4 or 5 years. And yes, you can trade them, but who is going to take Carlos Quentin w a tag, I thought I recall seeing him tagged on someone's team.
Again, just a suggestion to apply a larger penalty or some way to buy back the tag itself.
I am fine w the current rules as well

Ya, Quentin is mine, he's a bad example for all things re-sign lol. He was re-signed back when there wasn't a limit, then the rule was changed so I got stuck with his tag.

On the Quentin resign. lol. It may have never been explained fully because it takes quite a bit of writing to do. Anyway the long version is this:
First, he received a $5M contract for 5 years The 5 years allowed his annual salary to be lower than it would have been for a 3 year deal.
Also, Quentin was resigned on January 28, 2013. He was coming off of an injury plagued 2012 season where he only played 86 games hitting .261 with 16 homeruns and 46 rbi's.
Next, the resign system at the time was broken into specific periods. Each team could make 4 resigns during the period. The periods were broken into years. Period #1 was 2012 - 2015. Period #2 would have been 2016 - 2020. (note that our rule change occurred in 2014 though).
Now, the White Sox knowing he had 4 resigns he could make in that first period, chose to use one on Quentin and signed him through 2017. At that time, even though the contract extended into the next period, that didn't affect the Sox's new 4 resign tags that would become available in period #2. So really, the Quentin resign was more of a "use it or lose it" on the tag.
But after the rule was changed, this caused Quentin to then count against the Sox's total of 4 resigns now.
Hope that makes sense. lol. Really at the time, the injured Quentin wasn't resignable at all or just barely. But that was a tag that was only supposed to count against his total through 2015 and not 2017 as it turned out.
