[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2829762, member: 73370"] in response to the rebuilds, i am not sure there is anyway around it. consider the astros with cole. they give up prospects to acquire him from pittsburgh, he produces at a level higher than i think anyone could have expected, and then he takes off to new york at the end of his contract which is his right under the current cba. if the astros earn a compensatory pick what is a realistic expectation of when that pick could be on the field for the astros? the problem is mlb has the biggest crap shoot when it comes to selecting talent in the draft and the longest period between when a player is drafted and on average when that pick ever makes the mlb roster. with the income disparity and basically unrestricted free agencies there is no one to avoid players chasing dollars and it only re-enforces the job clubs like oakland and tampa have done to be competitive.
