I don't know what this has to do with the discussion, but I thought I'd mention it anyway (with apologies to Bill James): In the last couple of years the number of contracts being insured has gone down drastically. The insurance companies raised the rates so much that most teams have decided that the risk of the contract is better than the guarantee of the premiums.
