This was my fear and concern as well Andy. Don't get me wrong, I like winning but I also would like to see new teams challenge and compete. It was a good thing last season to see NYM get the WC in the NL after a few years abscence and CHW win the AL Central. We need more of that in the league.
Agreed.
We were talking on the board today that we may end up having to choose the lesser of two evils at some point:
Too much talent
Erratic prospect development/poor ability for teams to rebuild
I honestly think we may end up reversing our current decisions in the long run, but I think right now we have to at least see if we can slow them down. This year and next will speak a lot to what we have to do with this file (And Clay's dumbass coding) to make this sustainable and fun.
