It brings up an interesting thought to me. Is it worse for baseball as a whole to have one of the teams that choose not to spend big (I refuse to use the term small or medium market when talking about billionaires) to win the WS? My thought is that if one of those teams wins its justifies the actions of the heavy spenders. The message would be see, you don't have to be a big spender to win. Because let's be honest, I understand every team can defer contracts, but by allowing such a system your big media markets benefit. Free agents are going to pick those places over other spots. That is just my opinion and people may disagree but when I look at how payrolls are structured between some of these clubs its pretty laughable to think they are playing on the same field financially.
