** The Official 2012 MLB Thread! **

The Dodgers will now have the highest payroll in baseball.
 
The Dodgers are going to collapse and go bankrupt soon! Hasn't history taught us that over spending leads to nothing! They are over paying for mid to average players! I am not going to cry when things go south for them, but laugh. As the post above, money doesn't buy rings.
 
Too many over-paid egos doesn't help/form team chemistry.
Giants still the favorite to win the West.
 
gencySoon we'll see if big checkbook defeats big teamwork. It never seems to fail...some team gets flush with money but you make mistakes and you get hamstrung by payroll infllexibility for years...look at the Giants, paying Barry Zito huge bucks for seven yearts when he just wasn't a lockdown ace deserving of the contract. He did, however, prove invaluable this year in the playoffs, so I guess some good came out of it. But they never made the mistake again and don't seem poised to overpay for a front of the rotation starter like that again, not for seven years.

Marvin Miller, who recently passed away did a great service to baseball pllayers and the fans and game as a whole when he fought for free agency and arbitration. Fought for the right of players to have some control over their livelihood...where for most of baseball's history they were totally under the control of the ownership. But huge contracts not just for superstars but just solid/good ones come with great risk of blowing up in the faces of baseball organizations, and often do.How much is enough? I read a couple of days ago where Scott Boras, super agent to the superstars, complained a club like the Yankees weren't spending ENOUGH! :eek: His calculation was an organization like the Yanks should spend $300 million dollars on salaries.. the current ownership, though under Hal Steinbrenner is much less prone to the outlandish,no expenses spared spending bursts of his dad George Steinbrenner and wants to get the salary of the club for luxury tax purposes to no more than $189 mil in 2014. I bet he hopes the Dodgers and other flushed with money organizations see superstars and pennants in their futures and will get some sucker to bite on the next WTF???!!! signing.

Players should control their destiny, but going for the highest dollar leads to contracts which just cannot be justified. Zack Greinke, the second highest paid right hander in history? He's been good, had one great year....guess LA is betting the ranch on superstars with their new money loaded investors and their astronomical quarter billion a year( for the next 20 years) television rights contract. Someone to hate MORE than the Yankees!;)
