Let's Contract Two Different Teams
July 24, 2002 - Doug Frobel
Of course this will NEVER happen... And I'm expecting Donald Fehr to come crashing threw my door with Janet Reno and and the ATF to keep me from posting this... But straight from FantasyLand I bring you PAY FOR PERFORMANCE!!
Yep, we just take X% of revenues and throw them into the central fund and then pay players based on how they actually perform during the season. Sure, it's a radical proposal - what employer in his right mind would ever base his employees compensation on actual performance? - But it would certainly justify the Devil Rays actually wanting to keep Greg Vaughn in their line up as he cruises along hitting .125.
Think of all this would cure... Free Agency? Who needs it... A home run in Atlanta is worth just as much as a home run in Colorado. The whole small market/big market bugaboo goes PFFFFT! cause there's only one market! And we know how much Don Fehr cries cause there aren't any 43 year olds batting in the NL cause there's no DH. But come August when the Padres are comfortably 35 games out then can load up their line up with assorted light hitting has-beens and save a few bucks. The possibilities are endless.
Just imagine signs popping up in outfields all across the country... "HIT IT HERE and get PAID!".
