There's a few that I can see. Getting some time for one of them to start out the year they either do well, ok, or poorly. If its well, then the harm is mostly just monetary and losing the year. In any other case they probably have another to bring up that looks ready and give whoever was with the club a specific thing or 2 to work on, pause the clock again and get and experience to another.
There may be something to somewhat staggering their clocks in that worst case scenario that they're never sent down again. Not that losing a year is a good thing even then. I could easily say that one of them likely gets traded between now and year 7 anyway with logic to back it up, but planning that far out is futile. One of themcould get injured too, or 3 more prospects blaze on up in a couple years. Focusing on 6 or 7 years out just doesn't make sense to me. I understand it being a consideration but it shouldn't be the consideration.
It makes sense to me to ignore the clock for one if they make it 2+ months looking like they belong or switch out if they need time to work on specifics in AAA.
