AA: I don't see us being able to add a big bat

[spykelee]

Most of my venom is directed at that new CBA. I mean jesus christ, how are you supposed to compete when it's going to cost you a quarter of a billion dollars to "sign a big bat"... granted you don't have to sign Prince, but I just can't understand where Major League Baseball decided to clamp down on teams trying to acquire assets and build through the draft but they don't do $hit to address a single team paying a quarter of a billion to 1 guy? This sport is so ass backwards sometimes.

I want Rogers to spend as much as the next guy, but the kinds of contracts these "bats" are getting are complete and total albatrosses. F'n ridiculous.

^ While I agree, sadly this is how the game works.

What infuriates me is that we have the market AND the ownership to compete under these rules. That really is a slap in the face.

impotent owners are the biggest cancer for any sports franchise.

No that would be fair weather fans.

Fair weather fans are what gives incentive to teams to spend money. If everybody was a fan all the time then why would they ever invest?
