Re: Best Players Union?
[ QUOTE ]
Uhhh how is this not the MLBPA? Look at the contracts of the players. [/ QUOTE ] Take the Indians, how many players are earning, and will earn for a few years, way below market value? Sizemore, Guitierrez, Peralta, Cabrera, Garko, Carmona, Perez, Laffy, Shoppach, Lewis. That's 5/9 position players, 2/5 starting pitchers, 2/6 guys in the pen and 1/5 bench players who are going to be collecting maybe 1/4th of what they could on the market for the next 2-5 years. Then MLB has the luxury of keeping players around as backups in the minor leagues paying them even less. You could play professional baseball for 10 years in a system before hitting Free Agency. The CBA heavily favors the older players. |
