Eh....our payroll is pretty high every year. Always top ten. The problem with our payroll is that a big chunk of our payroll goes to useless players that dont contribute.Giants win every two years with mediocre payrolls. I'm fine with no cap. Yankees haven't done **** since 09 despite having a ton of money on the books.
Am I the only one who thinks Markakis sucks?
Good point. Either way it's impressive what the Giants have done this past decade, piecing together a contender despite its high payroll guys not doing anything. I miss Timmy being dominant. Was one of my favorite pitchers to watch in his prime.Eh....our payroll is pretty high every year. Always top ten.

Granted, this is partly injury related, but last year, we were paying:
$17M for Tim Lincecum
$20M for Matt Cain
$9M for Angel Pagan
$6M for Marco Scutaro
Thats $52M (well over 25% of our entire payroll) that were wrapped up in useless players.
The Royals were 19th in payroll.
Just cause you spend money doesn't mean you're going to be good.
There are articles discussing this, but I'm not searching for them right now lol
But I guess I do agree it does give big market teams an advantage, but not a guarantee.
Look at the Yankees since 09. Look at the Dodgers. It doesn't always work when you spend like crazy. Baseball is a wild sport.
nice pick getting saunders, if we lose melky i dont think its a big deal if we can find a platoon partner for him.
