Widows Walk
Just discovered a new blog, Baseball Widow. She has an excellent post on keeping teams competitive with a salary cap.
I've felt for a long time that what baseball needs is a competitive form of revenue sharing. Teams would be paid for their road games based on how many people they brought in, not just in the stadium, but for the TV and radio audiences as well. This would encourage teams to sign an Alex Rodriguez, since they would make money from the fans he would draw on the road.

I would hope that the owners would follow the maximin theory espoused by the Baseball Widow by throwing the weak sisters overboard, starting with that white elephant of a franchise in Milwaukee! How many chances does a market get to prove that it's unfit?
well, i guess i might could agree with the idea of a salary cap if ALL the teams were required to spend, say 100 mill. now that would be more interesting than trying to stop george from spending his money. then the other owners would have to spend their own money, too. i'd like that a lot.
