the only thing our money advantage helps us to do is to increase our recovery from mistakes. If you are the Pirates and you make a 40 mil mistake, it kills you for those yrs. If you are the yankees and you make a 40 mil mistake, you shrug it off. With the way the league is configured and with the way the draft pick system works, the worse teams can get better. This is more a problem with the s***** teams not trying to keep their own and less a problem of the big guys eating it up. Look at the FA classes. They have sucked 2 yrs in a row because lower level teams have been able to start keeping their own.
