Hmmmm, maybe that's a Dynasty? Starting after the Strike? Eureka!


I actually agree with your ideals. But the whole point of this dynasty is, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Though, I really have yet to really "join 'em." Though I have the 7th highest gate revenue and 6th highest merchandise revenue, our pitiful $41 million a year total in media revenue gives us a budget that can only carry the 18th highest payroll in baseball at the moment.


Great idea on the Dynasty. A post-Strike era with limited free agency and a better reserve clause. Might I suggest a hard salary cap too, while we're at it?
