Refer to my earlier post to see my POV about your point. Teams have a business model. They run with it. The "Cry poverty" part you're making up. All i have to say about that. And apparently, you don't watch basketball either, if you did, you'd know it's not an apples to apples comparison. And some teams with middle of-the-pack resources (Atlanta comes to mind) have managed to build a contender from the ground up and will probably be able to retain most of their talent long-term.

It creates a false sense of parity. As i stated before, in no other sport can you assemble a group of mercenaries and win a championship.

That may help explain the disparity, but in no way justifies it. The game needs to be played, and the crapshoot factor gives everyone who makes the playoffs a chance, but the fact is, no sport has an exploitable advantage as big as baseball's payroll issue.

I don't know about everyone else here. But i'm not 12. That kid just ruined his life and a promising baseball career. You are free to say whatever you wish, but seriously.......

1995-2009. One lower-end team has won it all. Many different teams, almost all of them big spenders. The system harms the financially weak. There is no going around that.

I forgot to put besides the Marlins, although i had mentioned it in an earlier post. Wrong on the Angels. They were exactly 15th in payroll.

Off-the field ability to acquire talent greatly impacts on-field performance. You know this.

If you don't think not having budget constraints has an enormous impacts on low/mid-tier teams' difficulties in constructing a good club as opposed to the other sports, all we can do is agree to disagree.

Jacko, please take the time to look through the thread before making inaccurate assumptions, you keep sticking your foot in your mouth. I have every right to want a fair system. Unlike you, i'm not a groupie of my team, i'm a fan of baseball.

Why the obsession with A-Gon? Considering other alternatives...

This is where i disagree. The simple fact that it allows of such abuse of the money factor is a flaw that is really easy to exploit, and does not provide a fair competition field. It's easier to throw money around than to build a successful team when the amount of resources that you have is limited. That is why MLB/NBA is not an apples to apples comparison. And i tell you again, if you weren't a fan of the Yankees you wouldn't stick up for the system so readily, so i firmly believe my assumption to be correct.
