Did you look at the 2006 salaries by teams here, yet? Yes I did, you've only referenced it three times in the last five minutes, so it's kind of hard to miss. So, what? That's a drop in the bucket compared to teams that seriously desire to win. Your claim was that Mark A. was doing things the same as the Seligs. Like I said, the payroll has gone up by about 30 million since he took over. That pretty much makes that point wrong. Also, I'd rather spend 56 million and build a team the right way while being ranked low on the total payroll scale than spend a bunch of money on overpaid crap players and be ranked in the top 15.
