His blog used to be a lot better (his new format stinks!), but he's a busy guy. We can't all cover a team full-time, write a book, appear on Cold Pizza, and blog consistently.

I prefer the take of a beat writer to that of a columnist any day of the week (yes, I fully realize that many columnists were once beat writers).Side note: does Mike Francesa know that Windhorst is his illegitimate son?

I am a fan of a small market team and while I do agree with you in the sense that payroll doesn't always guarantee wins, it does however dictate that certain teams can be out priced on a FA or draft pick. This is because some owners don't need to go after the larger players because they still make money. My problem with baseball is the fact that some owners don't really have an incentive to win because of Revenue Sharing. @ Romanwar.

Having the most money guarantees nothing. Everyone is entirely too hung up on what the payrolls are. It is what a team is willing to spend of their revenue. Because you pay Carl Pavano 10 million doesn't mean he is worth it. It is always about talent evaluation and smarts. And Baseball is the only sport in the last 20 years to have the most different teams in its postseason, Worlds Series and Most different teams to win a championship.

It's the level playing field. I know the counter argument is that some owners are just cheap bastards ... but I still don't know how it is a level playing field when the Yankees, Red Sox and Mets are spending $190 mil, and 10 teams are spending less than $90 mil (numbers pulled out of my ass, feel free to look into them).It simply isn't level.
