Doesn't mean a thing to Geogie. What if his players are more injury prone as any are with age: he just writes some more checks and buys more players during the summer from some strapped team that is dumping salary.

18-22 of the mlb teams are just what I call 'Quad A'. They just develop players for the few rich teams. I hate what baseball has become but there is no denying stark reality.
I have gone from a die-hard baseball fan to where I wouldn't even read or watch a thing about the game if I didn't wager on it.
