CWSGuy406 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 If one is effective and efficient in his/her spending habits, he/her can assemble a playoff team on a payroll of $65-$70 million or in that area. JMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossarian Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I agree, it can happen, has happened, and will happen again. Sure it can happen and will probably happen again. You catch lightning in a bottle like last years Marlins. You're not going to compete for the playoffs year in and year out with that philosophy.

danman31 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Sure, you can make it to the playoffs with a small cap, but it's a hell of a lot easier to pay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they just have so much f***ing talent in the minors and they have already brought up alot of players that are producing at the big league level.

YASNY Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 In baseball as in life you get what you pay for. If you're lucky. In both cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossarian Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 If you're lucky. In both cases. You know come to think of it you're right. You get it if you're lucky. Doing it on the cheap in baseball as in life you have to be really lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Small payrolls can work for a year (except if you're the Twins) but then the next year it seems that you're not in the playoffs. Higher payrolls always have a shot at being in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
