The MLBPA is going to have a field day with his comments and rightfully so. I don't know how they should fix the service time issue but it has to happen. It would also be nice if some sort of salary floor were instituted where if the team goes below it, they don't get revenue sharing.

An act of remarkably poor judgment from a very experienced baseball executive. I'm speechless."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."

Of course this system has the potential for players to be rushed in their development so teams can get the most value out of them they can.

I have a feeling this time may be a little bit different. Some of the veteran players who had their service time manipulated are still openly unhappy with how the entire process is handled. It's a system that everybody wants to see fixed; players want to get paid sooner and I'm betting GM's probably want to stop being the bad guy and having to lie through their teeth with their "needs to work on their defense" garbage.
