And I consider the people arguing that this is actually mostly positive as the same people telling anyone within shouting distance how much this team sucks when it's April. But that's the beauty of it, we both come to our own conclusions.

See that's your problem, you see 3 negative pages out of 4 as overwhelmingly negative when what you should do is cherry pick the 10 positive posts in the middle.

I see next to no downside here considering the price. If he stinks you are are out on average ~$6/yr, if he is even an average player you are probably close to even and if somehow he ends up at Turang's level you've basically get multiple times the value.

We are so back! God bless baseball and God bless the Brewers.

I really think he's gonna force his way to Milwaukee this summer

I think Fischer is gonna force some hands this season.

As someone without a cable subscription who didn't want to pay for a subpar app experience, I have to say bully for me.

I have paid for and used MLB.TV when previously living out of market, at a minimum it should function better than the stupid RSL app did.

Guys with mediocre talent who make it to the highest level usually do so in part because they have to dedicate themselves to learning the ins and outs of their craft. They then succeed at teaching it because they had to learn it themselves. Guys with superior talent do things naturally and tend to have a hard time articulating those actions because they've either never had to think about it or they simply aren't replicable.

From what my wife said, yeah. Her favorite still remains so I still get two hours of freedom on Tuesdays.

Alright well it was the Halloween episode of DWTS though.

Does anyone else think Sasaki looks a ton like Yelich?

You can continue to misrepresent what I'm saying, I'll waive the white flag and tell you how smart you are. The players should agree to whatever the owners want because they will all make more money and it's all for the good of the game. In fact everyone from any career path that has an arbitrary cap has made more money because of it. Have you considered a career with the MLBPA, the players probably have much to learn from you as I have today.

Here's where I tell you to get better at reading into things that aren't really there. I never said 64% of all revenue. And yes, players make more now than they did then, guess what, so does the average American. None of that diminishes the fact that the owners are doing better than the players and have been ever single negotiation since the cap was agreed to. The same will happen to the MLB players too. They might well make a lot more money 30 years from now too, but it will be a percentage of what the owners have made during that same time. Using your example of White vs Parsons, that is a 11x increase, no small thing until we look at the example of the valuation increase of the Packers which, using the low end valuation of 5.6B is a 48x increase. And that increase is, as you have said, because of the "non-football" revenue and the cost certainty of the cap. I'll never side with the Billionaires at the expense of the Millionaires, I don’t care that the Millionaires make a lot more than I do, they should. What I care about is limiting the financial manipulation that the Billionaires are able to get away with and a cap doesn't do that, it simply serves to enrich them more than they are. The cap is nothing more than a means to ensure that their valuations continue going up as opposed to the moderate stagnation that they will claim has occurred recently.

Was this not an implied statement that Owners were not more wealthy or are you just bad at structuring thoughts?
