What gets me is all of this crying about how it's unfair to small market teams. Yet look at the 70s,80s and halfway through the 90s. Teams like the Royals,Pirates and so on had no problem keeping up with the bigger teams. People will say things were different than they are today. Yet the NFL has no problems with smaller markets.

The Pirates look like they may be getting out of their hole slowly.
I don't understand what happened to the Royals they once were a dominate team and completely lost it.
I think ownership IMO has to take the blame. drafting good kids and making smart moves to get veterans to play with those kids is how you contend and win championships.....NOT give up and trade young talent away......
The Montreal Expos were notorious for that and that's one of the many reasons they failedComment

The Money the Angels gave Pujols is not that much more than what the Cardinals offered. I guess he went to the AL because he know he wil need some time at DH as he gets older. The Marlins will win another WS in a year or two and then have another fire sale, just like in 98. Hanley will demand a trade pretty soon. The Mets are trying to rebuild the way they did in the early 80s, instead of throwing $ at free agents like the early 90s. Regardless, I hope Dodger fan Wilpon sells the team ASAP to a Mets fan with money, like that hedge fund guy.Last edited by MegoMonk; Dec 17, '11, 6:15 PM.Comment

Expect Wright and Santana to be gone at the trade deadline unless Wright comes back and is having a monster season with the fences now being moved in........Comment
