So what is fair about a team with a great scouting department that isn't able to keep all of their players, not because they don't have the money to keep them but because the league says they aren't allowed to spend the necessary money to keep them even if they have it.
Yeah, that's fairness for ya!
Please. A salary cap hasn't changed the fortunes of poorly run franchises and there are numerous examples of teams that didn't spend a ton of money making and winning the World Series.
I would be in favor of some sort of rookie slotting system though. This would allow teams with pathetic and greedy ownerrship like the Pirates to stop hiding behind the excuse that they can't take the best player for financial reasons.
With the years that baseball organizations have pretty much total control over their players that is all that is needed. If you can't draft talent and develop that talent over a 7-year period, a salary cap isn't gonna help you.
