Don't be so negative! Park could easily sustain a serious injury in spring training...

Though the funniest part is that he insists he'll be a starter.

Well, their bullpen catcher needs someone to warm up with, right? Technically that would be at the start of the game...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

No, wait. I know. They need a batting practice pitcher! It's perfect. Chan knows exactly how to hit the middle of the plate with a relatively slow fastball, and it would be the first pitcher of the game, so 'starter'!<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Wow... it appears that the Red Sox have declared themsleves out of the running for Teixiera, as his price has gone up too high!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

I've decided I kind of like the insane contracts and the fiscal disparity. Let the market decide a player's worth. Makes it all the more sweet when the big spenders lose -- especially when they miss the playoffs.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I do like to see what happens. I can get behind revenue sharing, but the lack of a salary cap makes for a bit more interesting stuff in the winter months.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

How do you figure? That makes zero sense.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Why does it make zero sense? Some people like dynasties and they love a constant rise and fall... a narrative if you will. A dice roll doesn't necessarily make something interesting.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Ok, speaking for me only, I think having the best team that money can buy is a travesty. Dynasties, where all start equally, is a bigger accomplishment.
Think how you want, it's my opinion. No better or worse than yours.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The Angels have PULLED OUT of the Teixiera sweepstakes completely! That means, unlike the Red Sox, who have stopped bidding up the price, the Angels have rescinded their offer to him!
I'd been hearing that the Angels were talking to Manny Ramirez and I thought that was just the contingency plan for if they lost Teixiera... I didn't realize that they were planning to drop out entirely!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

Sloww, I basically agree with you, at least in terms of how I think of the teams outspending their rivals, sometimes by $100M+.
I've just decided it's OK for MLB to tolerate it, because it really goes to show that team play, fundamentals and enthusiasm can still overcome raw spending power. And I love when that happens.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
