To this Dodger fan, Kasten has said exactly what I want to hear about payroll. If they actually go about building the team this way, then it will be a breath of fresh air.

Really? I found it a little disconcerting. Payroll increase hasn’t bode well for the Red Sox lately. Didn’t help the Mets in recent years. I know it will be nice to have some extra loot to pursue the big free agents, but it will be much nicer to start building up our farm system. Our international and amateur signings were especially scant under McCourt’s evil tyranny.

I didn’t read that as spending money for the sake of it, or exclusive of rebuilding the scouting or farm system. Kasten knows baseball. Coming from years of amateur team owners and artificial payroll limits, it all sounds good to me.

I see what you mean. Yes it will be good to have someone behind the curtain who knows baseball, as opposed to, say, parking lots?
