You can compete. You just can't compete every year. Like you might have a down year in your league and be right there. Or have a good season every 2-3 years. But the Yankees, Red Sox, and what not can field a team every year that's top of the league, roster wise.djfresh47 said:If we're discussing ratings I think the primetime games that young people aren't able to view are hurting baseball. Also if a game starts at 10 because a West Coast team makes the World Series how many people are going to stay up and watch just because it's the World Series? I think teams are penalized for spending over a certain amount in the form of a luxury tax. The Yankees have been over every year but the Rangers have been over 3 times and have been awful. The USA cares more about Football, who cares that has nothing to do with the economics of baseball. Baseball is fair how else can you explain the A's and the Twins consistently being very good and the Marlins this season making a run at the Wild Card. I think the problem is owners who get revenue sharing and just pocket the money while not trying to improve their team. Also the biggest problem in all of this is poor scouting. The Yankees have not won a World Series in I think 5 years yet people complain about them like they're winning championships every year, I don't get it.
