The large market team should be all over the IFA market and perfectly happy to entice the most talented high school players to come out and start their careers.

The advantage should be huge because the big clubs can not only have the most and best scouts and development people, they can take on salary by trading some prospects, or they can resign their own guys rather than losing them.

It should be an advantage that cannot be overcome but 2 times out of ten but we’ve gone about things in the only fashion that allows teams like the Marlins to out perform us.

Omar’s thing was to trade prospects for established veterans. It goes to show that the advantage of being a big market team may not be all that great.
