Friend: I think the NBA paid off the Heat in the first yr because of the politics. They threw game four and they paid Lebron because they were angry with what he did. So he had pay one way or another.
F: Vogel doesn't run that team. Shaw does. If he leaves they are going to suck and Vogel will get fired.

I don't have a problem with it at all. I mean we will still be at ONLY 189 million.
Actually the real number is around 170-179

the team ahrdly ever shows up in the playoffs though. this isn't the first time they didnt hit and its not the first tiem they were embarassed. part of the problem is over priced free agents and not building continutiy with the team through bringing up you own players. thats why the late 1990s teams were so good, a sound nucleus from with in

Them not spending is an issue as well though because it's the one advantage they have. Every team has one. The Rays can't flex their muscle financially so they have to be good at developing. If the Yankees limit the one advantage they have...then they have no advantage.

you gusy do realize we have been the highest payroll tema for like 10 years right? and in that time we've won 1 world series, menaing 9 times a team won spending less than us. its not all about money guys, spending doesnt win you titles usually. 2009 was the exception, while most seem to think its the rule

To be fair......we've almost-developed, acquired, drafted a bunch of studs who've turned out to be crap or get hurt. The list is endless.
That's not Hals fault.
It's also not Hals fault that he fields a good enough team to win the division the last 10-11 years or whatever and fail in the playoffs.
If I were him, I'd be irritated that I have to waste tens of millions to put band aids on it.
But then again, it's also part of the business of attracting fans to a stellar product. You've got to pay to play!
So, in summary, we've had a good run......we can live with a stop gap year.
