Obviously you can't blame the Royalys historic futility on Glass but his cheapness definitely prolonged it. I say he's defiantly top 5.

Like who? They've made runs at guys like Beltran, Torii Hunter, Kuroda, etc. over the years.

Where the Royals are really screwed financially is having a terrible TV contract. But I'd agree in general... that's the problem with baseball. Small market teams have difficulty competing for free agents, and it's only getting worse because the big market teams have huge TV contracts now. It's why the Dodgers print money. The only reason we got Shields was because the Rays can't afford to sign anyone.

The problem is how they've spent money. There are plenty of teams who have had success doing less, both in payroll and in the draft. You have to spend the money well, and develop starting pitching. You have to. I don't know how you debate this. You can't afford to build a team in baseball through FA. League average players are now getting $10 million a year.

The owner in 97 was Huizenga, who owned the Dolphins. Loria bought the team in 2002 after dumping the Expos. Then they won a World Series a year later, he dumped everyone.

Then, spent years begging for taxpayer money for their new stadium, threatened to move the team to San Antonio... finally got the $$ and went crazy in FA to appear like they were trying again: got Buerhle, Reyes, all those guys, then dumped them all and slashed payroll by about $60 million after the first season in the new park.

And that's not to mention all the other meddling he's apparently done with the coaching staff and front office over the years, vetoing personnel decisions, etc.

The A's and the Rays have probably the two best scouting and developmental systems in all of MLB. The Pirates were in a death spiral but they have McCutchen who is fantastic and a good supporting cast. They just play in a really tough division with the Reds and Cards.

I think it's mainly people who don't go to games and wouldn't follow them unless the team was winning anyway.
