Its not even close. You can't just put A-rod on there when there are 2 othr 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.
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
