    i dont think i'm crazy about that idea. slotted salaries would solve the problem, just make them based on previous years signings. the international guys piss me off more than anything. i'm not even talking about the guys who put in 7 years in the japanese league but the 17 year old kids in south america who get 5 million dollars while the american kids go into the draft. an international draft would benefit americans (and i dont give a rats ass about anyone else, nor should any american legislature passing laws dealing with baseball)

    you cant have the yankees/mets without having someone for them to play. stop treating baseball like 30 individual businesses and start realizing that the game (and probably everyone but steinbrenner individually) is better off when they act in concert and cooperate. just look at what the NFL has accomplished. i dont want to hear about antitrust exemptions and players "rights" i have no sympathy for the "rights" of people making upwards of $200,000 or of those receiving signing bonuses larger than the annual income of people with twice their education. sports need to be treated more as a public trust, whats good for the GAME is what matters.

    i can see why the players want that in there, they think a team will pay more if they dont lose a first round pick. personally i care more about competitive balance than i do about the rich players getting a few more dollars so i don't like it. a possible solution would be to grant the teams LOSING these players a supplemental pick between the 1st and 2nd rounds without taking a pick away from anyone.

    i'd rather lose because the players and owners are assholes than lose because you cant throw a strike
  9. nymr83
    yeah, you need a base hit so he's the guy i want up there (if you needed a homer i'd rather have delgado despit beltran's power numbers this year) its just the fact that the season ended LOOKING that will bother me for awhile. But hey, the 1999 season ended in what i think is the worst possible fashion.

    this and your thread "20 Years Ago Next Week: 1986 Postseason Flashback" could/should have been one thread, theres really no reason to start new ones all the time especially when two threads almost couldn't be more related.
  11. nymr83
    go Tigers.

    Chavez's catch could have gone down as a legendary play, now it will soon be a footnote that only the most hardcore met fans will remember.
  13. nymr83
    i've upped my offer. $20 to charity if you ban cleon.
  14. nymr83
    not based on one start. barring a signing he's almost certainly in, even with one i'd consider him the favorite in ST for the last spot.
  15. nymr83
    Edgy/moderators- i'll give $10 to a charity of your choice if you issue cleon a 48 hour ban.
  16. nymr83
    looking. fuckin looking.

    CHAVEZ ROBS ROLEN!!!!
  21. nymr83
    Perez hitting for himself, so he'll start the 6th...i agree this move as long as he's facing albert theres no reason not to keep going.

  23. nymr83
    thank god. i still say bad decision that worked out well.
  24. nymr83
    Wilson K's. Perez will face Pujols. i don't like it.
  25. nymr83
    eckstein HBP after chavez fails to catvh the foul ball...unless Perez gets the DP here he should be done, you cant let him face pujols with 2 on.
