And the saga continues for MLB - rich teams buy players and the middling and bottom teams in revenue are minor league feeders.

Poor Bottom Feeders-- Have you noticed that the marlins have won 2 world series and are a position to be in the playoffs today! I am a Yankee fan so I understand money is not the answer to a winning team. If you dont believe see the Rays this year also. TALENT AND GOOD BASEBALL PEOPLE win games.

Too bad baseball doesn't embraces the philosophy that the league is only as strang as it's weakest link. Whether the Marlins can only truly afford a $22 mil payroll or the owner is pocketing vast riches, something needs to be done. Yes, they are competitive this year. But this could get really ugly in the years to come if it continues.

>Strong< I have no $#^% idea what strang is. Sorry for the triple post, I will go now.

I'd take Jacobs over Delgado any day.

what do they do with all the $$$$$ they get from the sox, yankees and the like that are 100's of millions over the cap. every dollar any team goes over the cap, they put a dollar into a kitty. that kitty is divided up by the teams below the cap.

Slinky, you know that most people choose an avatar based on a personal likeness, interest, or fantasy. For example, I look a lot like Stone Cold. So what do you think that Grossedout's avatar says about him?

SlinkyRedfoot, It's my fault, I gave him attention. My bad.

I have fantasies of a large, protruding tongue with baseball seams tatooed on it.

They're reoccuring.

Just make sure you continue to use your tongue for good things Slinky! ;)

Exactly, babe, and I must make sure it never falls into the hands of evil-doers.

I'm off to Indians game. Have a good day. Go Tribe.

Have fun Slinky...I wish you luck today ;) Go Tribe!!
