Any Hope for Small Market Baseball Teams?

Big money players = big egos. Thats the first obstacle to overcome. There isn't much parody in baseball, it seems the same teams are in contention every year. Yes, small market teams sneak into the playoffs and can make runs, but where do those players go after the season? Ask the first Marlins team how their free agents worked out after that season.

And the free agency concept will never go away. Good for the players, bad for the teams and fans. That's why the big spenders win.
