Tell me where in that post it said that salaries and contracts are not about baseball.

Salaries link to baseball easily. There are many contracts, some small, some big, and a couple that are bloated.

Are you even reading anyone's posts? My point was that nowhere did that post (or mine) say that salaries are not about baseball.

Not sure where you got that idea. He's quite proud of the Pirates for plundering the Yankees talent pool. Maybe that's where the mixup occurred.

Well, everyone is, but he probably knows who are the most incompetent.

Hint: Pitching. The pitcher is not Sabathia.

The Angels are still overrated in my opinion. If anyone is going to challenge the Astros, I think it will be the A's. Maybe the Rangers, but I don't really think so.
