Crazy, he's a great pitcher but one bad injury and he could be done. Too risky even though LA can afford it.

Individual players now get yearly salaries close to or above the total yearly salaries paid by the most frugal teams.

Baseball is cheap to attend a game. You want to sit behind the dugout, thats not cheap. But, you want to take the family and sit in the upper deck at a Royals game, $10 on some days.
It's the cable contracts that are paying for these huge salaries, not ticket sales. You can't sell $2 BILLION worth of tickets.

No player in any sport, especially a pitcher who plays every 5th game, is worth $30MM a year.
Just plain dumb. |

Could have picked Scherzer from right down the road at Mizzou.

There are plenty of examples over the last 6-7 years of teams spending less than the Royals and making the playoffs. Most people just don't realize it.
There were three teams in the playoffs that spent less than the Royals, and Cleveland was ranked one spot ahead of KC in total payroll. The Royals have spent more in recent years than teams like the A's and Rays who always seem to be successful. The A's almost won 100 games last year. Money's not the only issue. Although with these huge differences in TV money now... we'll see where it stands in another 7-8 years. |

Your right TK. The Royals main problem is their draft picks underperform.
