I wouldn't laugh. He's going to get close to it.
I was reading a good article on one of the sports sites a couple weeks ago about production per dollar. The whole thing was based on only a few stats but WAR was the main one. According to their calculation, no position player making over a certain amount (20 million I think) was worth it. I understand anyone can make any calculation to prove their argument but at some point the money paid could not be made up for in production. You can get 4 good players for what he is asking for.
I think that's fair from a baseball perspective, but from a labor perspective, you're looking at a company that has almost tripled in value since the owners bought the team in 2006 and has an annual revenue of $293 million. How much of that do the players deserve to receive vs. company profit?

I find it hysterical that Bud Selig was voted into the Hall of Fame. As if the HOF couldn't get any more absurd.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
We currently have a Hall of Fame where the all-time hits leader is not in. The all-time home run leader is not in. The three top single-season home run producers are not in. The winningest pitcher since WWII and seven-time Cy Young winner is not in. A player with over 3000 hits and 500 HRs is not in. It is ridiculous to see a Hall of Fame that excludes the best of the best.
