It seems that teams are more careful regarding player investment, except for the truly elite – Pujols, Hernandez, Hamilton, etc.

Looks like we are heading for an even larger gap between the cream and the milk.

This is the first time I’ve seen 2 well known players see much bigger paydays dwindle due to health concerns and teams backing out of original deals and signing them to much shorter deals for a lot less money.

Wouldn’t suprise me its the pirates, I remember them from the 70s and 80s…seems like a simpler time then.
