The Padre owners have been the Gene Klien of Baseball owners thru its history.
I do love the Yankees spending like drunken fools and getting nothing to show for it. All they ever do is invest 8-10 year foolish contracts to players who shit the bed after 4 years. Sabathia, Texiera, Ichiro, Beltran,Soriano, and Jeter(though he is a career Yankee) are all old guys who cant do it anymore and those 6 alone are more than the Padres payroll.
Yes a salary cap would be nice to see some sort of equal compitiveness but the league dont care about that.
I can't stand that my team singed Albertross PooHoles to a 10 year boat anchor of a deal.
That said, I'm off to see Mike Trout do something awesome in a few hours.Dean Spanos Should Get Ass Cancer Of The Ass!

Small Market teams can make the postseason, but then you run into the 20 million a year pitchers that the big markets teams will throw at you.
Just look at the Dodgers with Grienke and Kershaw. Those guys make like 50 million between them. In a 7 game series those guys will beat you more times than not.
If the Padres want to win, they need to up spending significantly. They were at around 90 million this season (higher than any other year), but still woefully inept when compared to other teams. Not to mention there's a lot of empty spending in that budget with failed extensions and injured players.
Big market teams can just brush off mistakes in spending, the Padres can't. Sadly that's all recent management has done.
The Dodgers Zach Grienke makes 28 million a year. The guy has never won 20 games, never won more than 16 and he makes 28 mil a year? There is something wrong with Baseball.Last edited by Boltjolt; 07-07-2014, 03:16 PM.
