all while the owners keep stuffing their pockets with revenue sharing money and passing up the great players in the draft because they don't want to pay them.Stunt Double 1 said:Can anyone confirm this. Maybe not 40 , but I say this team will be tough to crack 50 wins. I mean they must play Chisox, Clev., Minn and a tough Detroit team in division. And they arent goin to trade up..that we know.
I remember this. They went hot for the last 2 weeks or so to barely break the 40 win mark.Doug said:Detroit lost 119 in 2003, some ancient team did worse.

Why would they pass on the great players in the draft? It's my understanding that most players play their first few years in the majors at under $1m with the exception of the very very elite (David Ortiz I recall was playing for $700k or something until this year?)viking611 said:all while the owners keep stuffing their pockets with revenue sharing money and passing up the great players in the draft because they don't want to pay them.
