If a guy hit a home run 25% of the time and walked another 25% of the time he would be the greatest hitter in the history of the game. Are you saying that's what you think Chris Davis is?But if he gets you a homerun in 1 of that 4 and gets on base in that remaining PA, isnt it worth it?
Not really. Baseball continues to have (arguably) the greatest amount of parity out of the 4 major pro sports leagues. I think a salary floor would be more beneficial to MLB than some sort of cap.Baseball really needs a salary cap. It's ridiculous seeing teams spend 4-5x as much as other teams
With younger, cheaper players getting better in relation to their older, more expensive brethren over the last decade, it makes sense that money would have less impact on winning and that has been borne out over the last several seasons, including this year. While financial balance between franchises is not present off the field, and continued spending might lead to wins, payrolls in 2015 have not translated to wins, just as it has been for the last several seasons.
