Today Major League Baseball kicks into high gear with 26 teams taking the field after the Red Sox defeated the Yankees last night 9-7 in a wild game. According to the USA TODAY the salaries of MLB players on opening-day rosters has decreased drastically by 17% since last year. This is the biggest dip in salaries since the survey began over 20 years ago in 1988. The main reason for the fall is directly correlated to the economy, but some teams decided to let high priced players sign with the usual suspects. The Boston Red Sox spared no cost boosting their payroll 33% percent over last year and the Evil Empire (Yankees) increased 2%. Believe it or not, the payroll for the Yankees’ has ballooned to six times that of the Pittsburgh Pirates and their starting infield will earn more than 16 teams in MLB. How can Bud Selig and all the other artifacts running baseball not realize this is a serious issue?
Oh yea, and PLAY BALL!
Doc Gooden has been arrested AGAIN and the list of charges from this latest arrest isn’t pretty at all. Yesterday morning the former Mets and Yankees (don’t forget about Rays, Indians, and Astros) pitcher was in a car crash with a kid in his car and unfortunately Gooden was under the influence of drugs. The list of charges looks more like a grocery list due to the length, but here we go: Failure to Keep Right, Reckless Driving, Failure to Notify Change of Address Regarding Driver’s License, Leaving the Scene of a Motor Vehicle Accident, Driving While Under the Influence of Drugs, DWI with a Child Passenger, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and Being Under the Influence of a Controlled Dangerous Substance. Does anyone want to bet the substance was a little snowflake?
Minnesota Twins fans are basking in the glory of the Joe Mauer signing right now, but even as loved as he is in Minnesota should they really be so happy? Mauer’s contract extension is completely ludicrous ($184 million for 8-years) for a mid-market team even if he continues to play at the very high level he has displayed to date. The new Target Field will inevitably bolster their financial situation, but can they really continue to put enough talented players around Mauer to actually contend for a title? Minnesota’s payroll for this season will be around $97 million which is a $30 million jump from just last year. Things really start to get out of control next year when the Twins will have over $70 million sunk in just a mere eight players. How in the world do you fill out a complete roster without drastically increasing your payroll to a dangerous level? Mauer is fantastic and barring an injury he will only get better, but the jury is still out on whether this will be a good move fore the Twins in the end.
Has anyone been wondering why the lowly Washington Nationals would send their can’t miss number-one draft pick pitcher Stephen Strasburg down to the minors this past weekend? Initially it seems like a very dumb move when you consider Strasburg would bring a lot of attention to a team that needs it in the worst way and he would get people to fill the stands every time he pitched. These things are true, but the Nationals have actually put a lot of thought into this move and it makes a lot of sense when you really think about why they sent him down. The Nationals can delay Strasburg’s opportunity for free agency by an entire year if they play their cards right. Strasburg only needs to be in the minors for 20 days or more and it would prevent him from achieving enough service time to qualify for free agency at the end of his sixth season. Most baseball writers believe Strasburg will be up by early June at the latest which would be right about the time the Nationals season will officially be over since they will most assuredly already have 40 losses.
