Something tells me Lucius Fox is either under a fake name or he is close friends with Bruce Wayne. batman.wikia.com/wiki/Lucius_Fox

I was thinking aloud, “This guy has to go play for the Mets just so he can join Harvey, the Dark Knight in Gotham.”

Let’s stop allowing rich teams to buy farm systems. Have an international draft already. It’s really not a difficult concept.

Other than top Cuban talent, international signings get just a bit more than Rule IV drafted players do.. I agree that rich teams like the Dodgers Cubs Red Sox and Yankees hand out multiple contracts, but next year pretty much all of the big spenders will be unable to sign players over $300k.. You will still see teams paying the high prices but they will be going to the smaller market teams.. Besides as with the draft some of the better players are signed for peanuts compared to the others ie: Cano and Franco..
I will agree that I don’t like this system very much it is one where players currently hold all of the power.. Like the draft most of these players will never pan out and they are getting enough money to sustain them throughout their lives if they manage it correctly..
