A-Rod is an absurd talent, but scouting, managing, players, and savvy win titles in baseball.
Hence why the Championship list looks like this, and the second the Yankees got away from the above formula all the money in the world couldnt help them. Look at the last 15 years.

2006 Cardinals
2005 White Sox
2004 Red Sox
2003 MARLINS
2002 Angels
2001 Diamondbacks
2000 Yankees
1999 Yankees
1998 Yankees
1997 MARLINS
1996 Yankees
1995 Braves
1993 Blue Jays

This is correct. The amount of money changing hands through revenue sharing is insane. There needs to be a minimum before a cap.

There are so many arguments that prove that, in spite of a drastic payroll gap, baseball has a great deal of competitive balance.

I've thought it about football for a long time. 5 to 10 million - draw the line somewhere. The extra money will come by means of endorsements or on the side vetures. More players will get more of the money too. Please tell me what the problem with this is.
Yup, and that crappy ownership has given us Cam Bonifay, David Littlefield, Jim Tracy, Lloyd McClendon, Gene LaMont, an inability to master the Rule-5 draft, and losing Aramis Ramirez -- the best homegrown talent they've had since Barry Bonds. Man, I hate my favorite baseball team sometimes. Especially when I think about how bad things have been for the last 15 years.
The Marlins are holding their own against the Mets with that 21.8 mil players salary tonight. Also the Marlins have one of the worst or THE worst stadium in MLB.
They need and will apparently get a new stadium at the old Orange Bowl in order to compete with the rest of baseball. I don't feel their sadness, revenue sharing has kept them afloat.
In a few years they'll be called the Miami Marlins.

Baseball is making way too much money for the players to agree to a max contract. It would be one thing if MLB was bleeding money, but the real problem is that some teams aren't spending enough.
They choose NOT to with revenue sharing holding the up even though some of their owners are billionaires. Billionaires refusing to spend go figure.

The Marlins DON'T HAVE MONEY TO POCKET. and the organization isn't cheap. they don't own the stadium so they only make money off the game tickets. They DO NOT make money off parking, food, drinks or anything else. Marlins CAN'T afford big money players even if they WANTED to. Before you say anything like that I again I think you should check out some facts.

I agree with you about the stadium, I've been to the last 2 opening days and what a nightmare. One better eat/drink BEFORE going to the game cause you could miss an entire game waiting at the 4 concession stands. It's too bad they appear to not recieve a cut of the parking and concessions. I'm sure that will change when the new stadium is built, let's see then if they start to spend or spend on stars they already have....hint Hanley Ramirez.
Also as for revenue sharing I don't recall seeing the Marlins turning any revenue sharing they may have recieved.
