I am really liking it, but the Dodgers losing could strengthen the players position in the coming lock out concerning a salary cap. Although they won the last 2 World Series, they will get beat by a team that has a third of the salary just like the Yankees lost to the Rays last round. Spending big money doesn't guarantee success, but it does help your chances. Personally, I have thought an NFL or NBA type of salary cap is long overdue in MLB along with a high floor. More importantly, making contracts a maximum of 5 years and the ability to renegotiate after 3 is the most important. These 8 to 12 year contracts tend to be an albatross around the team in the later years, and they need to be protected from themselves.
