If there were a band named “Roansy Contreras and the Prospect Promotion Initiative”, what kind of music do you think it would be?
I’m thinking ska.
Something with a loose structure that ultimately breaks down into off-beat madness as more and more notes are added from more and more sources.
Or maybe that’s just how I feel trying to make sense of Major League Baseball’s new Prospect Promotion Initiative (PPI).
The newest Collective Bargaining Agreement brought some changes, including one initiative aimed at giving teams incentive to promote their top prospects earlier. Evan Drellich of The Athletic has a good rundown of all of the rule changes, and explains the PPI.
