The fact that A-Rod makes more that the Marlins whole team or That the Marlins whole team makes less than the highest paid player in the game?

Its not even close. You can't just put A-rod on there when there are 2 other guys, giambi and Jeter also making more plus guys like Manny, Ichiro, Santana, Beltran, helton, Torri Hunter all making within a servicable relief pitcher of the Marlins too.

It is sad that the marlins are where they are at. At least when you are talking about the other small market teams they are at least closer to the $50 million range than anything else.

Even if the marlins open up their wallets, i just don't see top flight free agents flocking their way to south florida to sign. They need to get that team out of there.

I put Arod there cause hes the top paid player thats all. Not a bias or anything. Ive already covered that. Should the Marlins be contracted? Should there be a minimum salary like in hockey?

I say its both sad that one player can make more than a whole team and that florida has a cheap @ss team like the marlins.

Excellent Post EMTB...Not much for me to add, other than that I agree...I stated yesterday that a salary minimum is as important and is as needed as a salary cap....I think the Marlins pocketed something like $70 million in revenue sharing so a payroll of $18 mill is quite ridiculous

Even the worst team in baseball is gonna win 60 games. Thats terrible logic. And if it matters... they barely won. But it doesn't. The point is the Marlins SHOULD take a game of a series with ANY opponent, statistically. We'll see what happens to tonight.

But there will never be a salary floor, because that would require a salary cap. And the players union would never allow a salary cap.

Whoa.... dude.... touchy..... its two games into the season for both squads... I couldnt careless i am merely stating what happened last night. I had the Mets sweeping this series easy, almost touched it in the "real world" to be honest. I was merely stating a fact, not trying to combat anything.

But since your on the subject of  "SHOULDS":

Any team who has a 7 game lead in their respective division with 17 games remaining SHOULD win that division......
