Yankees - threw good money away for a player who in April will be 2 years beyond the average peak performance of a major leaguer!

Mets - still paying Bonilla over a million every year - he hasn't played in the major leagues in over 20 years. And their manager's "genius" reputation was smashed when he was out managed by Snitker all last season.

Dodgers - won't go anywhere no matter how much money they spend with Dave Roberts pulling them down every year.

Red Sox - hire Bill James and win four World Serious! James retires and they turn into a second division team.

Padres - they need to pray harder to beat the Giants.

Phillies - couldn't stop the cheaters from winning the last World Serious!

These teams throw money at the problem because they think it will make up for a lack of baseball knowledge. And they know that a "luxury tax" will not aide in helping to establish competitive balance so what do they care?

So I've just offended large portions of the mlb fan base! Incoming expected!
