Resolved Question: Who is the most underpaid player in the MLB?
Billy Butler just signed a deal with the Royals for a whopping $470,000. Butler was the Royals Player of the Year in 2009, leading the club with a .301 average, 93 RBIs and 51 doubles. He also hit 21 home runs, one triple and 51 doubles for 73 extra-base hits, sixth-most in the American League. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100304content_id=8671686vkey=news_kcfext=.jspc_id=kc Is there anyone who is more underpaid than Butler?

Open Question: What is the future of sports?

Filed Under (American League) by admin on 08-03-2010

Open Question: What is the future of sports?
I’m concerned that the mass production of technology is ruining the world of sports. Sports owe their a lot of their popularity to people’s boredom, such as in small communities that didn’t have a lot to do. But today, where you can get a mobile phone that holds thousands of songs and has video games on it… I don’t know, I guess it just seems that the people won’t look to sports for entertainment or as a way of life as much as in the past. No where is this more evident than in Major League Baseball; not only does it have this to deal with, but it also has to compete with other sports industries, such as the NFL. Plus, many of the players are not even Americans anymore. Why spend the money on going to a baseball game or football game when you can get instant entertainment on social networking websites or YouTube Poop videos, very cheaply? Is anyone else seeing this? Is anyone else aware that this is where things are gravitating?

Resolved Question: With the 2010 MLB season just around the corner, who do you see playing in the 2010 World Series?
The 2010 Major League Baseball season just around the corner, 14 teams from the American League and 16 teams from the National League will compete to play in the 2010 Major League Baseball World Series. Which two teams do you see playing in the 2010 MLB World Series and which team do you see winning? For the 2010 World Series, I predict the Detroit Tigers will win the American League championship and the Chicago Cubs will win the National League championship and I see the Chicago Cubs winning the 2010 World Series and their First World Series in 102 Years.

Voting Question: Major league Baseball’s divisions?
how come the national league central has 6 teams in its division while the american league east only has four. Wouldn’t it make since to put 5 teams in every division?

Open Question: Why 40 years after the merger hasn’t the NFL abolished the conferences? Please see below?
Please read my thoughtful essay and reply thoughtfully. Please no “you don’t know nothing about football” or “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I would leave the divisions and the way the schedule is drawn up exactly as it is now but eliminate the conferences. The 8 division winners would make the playoffs, (the 4 with the best records get first week byes, just like now). There would be 4 wild cards rather than 2 and 2. The teams would be seeded according to their season records. This system would have several advantages over what we have now: 1.The teams with the best records would make the playoffs. Nowadays this doesn’t always happen. And no, I am not a Pats fan still upset from 2 years ago. I’m not! 2.It would be theoretically possible for all 4 teams from a division to make the playoffs. What’s wrong with that? 3.It would be theoretically possible for 2 teams from the same division to play in the Super Bowl. What’s wrong with that? 4.It would keep the best teams away from each other until they had to play. Some years it has been obvious that the two best teams were in the same conference. 5.It would mean that any two teams could play in the Super Bowl. What would be wrong with having 2 former NFC teams or 2 former AFC teams in the big game? My reasoning is as follows: 1.It seems to me that 40 years after the merger the conferences only serve as a talking point for the fans and sports writers. Ask any player who played for the runner-up in the Super Bowl how much of a consolation their Conference Championship is to them. 2.The marketers like to be able to present the Super Bowl as a big Show-Down between the two best teams. But with the interconnecting schedule some years it’s not a showdown at all, it’s a rematch. And in some years it’s not the best two teams. 3.It’s not as if there was a long history of 2 leagues with slightly differing rules and styles of play as used to be the case with MLB. After all, it only took 6 years before a common draft was agreed to and 10 years for the full merger. 4.The NFL conferences have nothing to do with geography as is the case with the NHL and NBA. 5.It’s not like the conferences and their teams are carved in stone anyway. Remember that 3 teams moved from the National to the American at the time of the merger and more recently, Seattle moved from the AFC to the NFC. What do you think?
