Curb That Nasty Draft Spending
“We have a system that works,” said Commissioner Bud Selig. ”We can’t have just a few teams destroying the game’s competitive balance by simply outspending the others. Fans in every city deserve to have a chance to see their teams contend, not just fans in places like Pittsburgh and Washington.”
New York Yankees Chief Accountant Brian Cashman expressed his support for the Commissioner’s stand. “We have a very difficult time stretching our dollars to fill our needs. This off-season is a good example. We have a unique opportunity to add Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols as a DH platoon. If we have to budget $10-12 million for the draft, it could interfere with our ability to provide the kind of quality post-game catering that a player like Prince Fielder expects.”
- An excellent piece of satire from Wilbur Miller over at Bucs Dugout. Now we just have to wait until Monday to see just how extremely distasteful the owners found the draft.
