Some of the reason why certain teams can make a good player great is the coaching staff. One of the reasons why I cried when Torre, Bowa, and Mattingly were stiffed by the Yankees is because they are incredible teachers and leaders. No amount of FA purchases can replace supporting staff.

The Pirates, Reds, Rangers, and especially Royals will regain greatness when they regain leadership that reaches for greatness. A sober lesson for the GOP that has lost the spark that conservative leadership offers.

“The Pirates, Reds, Rangers, and especially Royals will regain greatness when they regain leadership that reaches for greatness.”

Sorry I have to disagree. If they should get such leadership, them may have a 2-3 yr run and maybe get to and even win a WS. Then the players will all cash in and go payday under the current system.

I know it is depressing, but it is the truth. The Salary Cap is worked unbelievably well to the financial benefit of the entire NFL. When everybody is on the real level playing field, then you can effectively see who has the quality organization and leadership.
