They will be a bigger spender than the Yankees. I would bet on Greinke going there and possibly Sanchez. To combat them I would like the Giants to sign Pagan, Scutaro, Scott Hairston, and possibly another SP on the cheap.

The thing that really bothered me was that if they make bad decisions, (which they will) they will never be hamstrung with bad contracts because they can just throw them in the gutter and go buy another.

They already have by taking on the stupid contracts of Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, and Gonzo. But, you are right. They wont stop until they buy themselves some titles.

This is why the NFL is more popular. Salary caps, very few guaranteed contracts, equal revenue from the networks and no massive local TV deals giving some teams a massive advantage.

I love baseball and the Giants first but I hate the economics of baseball.

Serious question, do you think anything will be done about it in the future? The Dodgers are going to try and corner the market, more so than the Yankees ever did IMO. That is sure to grab a lot of attention.
