It is fair to say that there will be x amount. Use that number however you want it's at least an estimation. I mean it's not like were going to equalize it at 40mil or 30 mil or even 20mil as some teams can't afford or don't want to spend that much. It would likley be equalized close or at what scouting already is. So my estimations could even be low. Teams are not going to be foolish and spend a crazy amount on WB unless they don't feel like they need another 10mil player on their team. As it was seen this year the juice isn't worth the squeeze on WB unless you really have nothing else to spend it on. The only beneift I could see is having more teams participate in IFA since more teams could afford to scout. However, that doesn't outweight the fact that we will have another 500mil in the league. Webb went for 13mil this offseason and he's barley a midlevel pitcher who is on the decline. His only saving grace is his health so he may get to 35 before he sucks. Just think with another 20 or so mil in your pocket. His contract would be upwards for 15mil plus just because we have the money to spend. I know you think that small markets will be more competitve since they will have less injuries and more money to play with. But with that also comes big markets having even more money to play with.
Not sure if any of the setiment of ass kissing admins was towards me but I will set the record straight anyway. Scotty, DJ and myself have all strongly dissagreed on things before. I can't remember what issue exactly but I know I locked horns with one of them. I'm not one to just sit here and let things happen without speaking up. And good for them for making the decsion to see how lowering the farm cap down 10mil effects the league. If they would have chosen to equalize it and it equalize this or whatever else they wanted to do I would have supported them but I also would have brought to light my issues with it. If it gets equalized you reap what you sew so anyone who strongly wants this implemented don't come out and say later that you didn't see inflation of contracts coming. It will happen.
