 A salary cap wouldn't work in baseball because the cap level would be set too high to make a difference for small market teams. Revenue sharing has been in place for approximately 7 years, and the Wild Card will work with that measure to help maintain competitive balance.

 Consideration #2: 2003 Marlins The 2003 Marlins were one of the best rotations to win a championship in the last eight years.  Notably, they won the World Series on the strength of performances by several young pitchers launching their careers, and of course, they also received a couple of right-place, right-time performances during ...

[quote]Just because a guy like Buerhle didn't repeat his performance, doesn't mean that it was luck and shouldn't be a huge factor ...

BTW, here's the difference between Truth and myself. Y'all might think I'm crazy and wrong, but I keep my comments to one OT thread. Truth, on the other hand, starts another thread to say that there's a problem with a particular OT thread. [quote user="homebrewpack"] Truthy, you've just got a hard on for Radio, ...

 Consideration #1: Why the 2002 Angels and 2005 White Sox were flukes. 2005 White Sox (w/ 100 IP): Mark Buehrle: 144 ERA+, 236.7 IP. Never matched the ERA value with that type of IP performance again in his career, and hadn't pitched at that level for for approximately three seasons. Buehrle is a legitimate above average starter that ...
