[QUOTE="Illinoise, post: 1371735, member: 3844"] There is definitely some of that. There is also a growing trend to not be one of the teams stuck in the middle. Not good enough to wins World Series but not bad enough to get potential impact talent in the draft. If you want to get really bad there is no reason to pay a middling starting pitcher $12 million when you can just run out cheap players. The tide may turn when attendance falls through the floor with the teams attempting this strategy. The Cubs were able to do it and keep attendance up. Miami on the other hand is going to be playing in an empty stadium for a few years I would guess. [/QUOTE]
