    Oh, you are taking the D portion of the OCD much too seriously. In common parlance people don't use it in a diagnostic way, just as calling someone an ******* doesn't mean that they are that part of the human anatomy.

    I never accused you of being irrational just quirky. Boy, for someone with the Military in their Avatar and a rifle mentioned in his custom user title, you are very sensitive. I don't know why you take everything as a personal insult. What next, you'll accuse me of insulting you with my silence?

    This being in the wrong forum was bothersome to you, but you are not in the least OCD. Okay. A mod should probably move the thread, but I guess it didn't bother them.

    A little OCD?

    So you are saying that the Nats are a big market team. Because that was really the argument. Everything not in the top 10 is small comparatively. As I said, the Twins at #12 were under consideration to be eliminated through contraction in 2002. Has their market increased so materially since 2002? I don't think so. MLB is comprised of a few big dogs and a bunch of small fish. The Nats are still small fish, but making a bold effort to move out of that category.

    Minnesota is ranked at #12, but as recently as 2002 MLB considered contracting and eliminating the Twins franchise. That shows just how close the bottom 2 0 are bunched together with relation to market size and value.

    But yet you are compelled to repeatedly try to prove that some are wrong in this steaming pile.

    He got traded to the Guardians.

    That's why I am the King, and only a small percentage of my post have been bitter.

    Wow! The Yankee manager feels that he needs more weapons. Thank goodness our manager is content with his roster.

    Bring back Lenny DiNardo--the same thing and almost no cost.

    They are still closer to the small market teams than the big market teams. The #23 team is only 10% less valuable than the Nats at #16. If you jump up 7 spots from the Nats, the #9 team is 33% more valuable. All the small guys are bunched together in the bottom half of the rankings. The lower you go the less difference there is in valuation between teams. Like I said earlier, there are the big boys and everyone else. In any ranking, there is always the top, middle and bottom. With regard to baseball franchises the teams in the middle are much closer to the bottom than the top. There is a lot of bunching in the bottom 20. One thing is certain is that they are not a big market team. The Nats could turn things around, but they will have an uphill battle generating a loyal following. IMO their problems are not solvable merely by building a winning team.
