Let's assume Wood is right and say that the farm requires a substantial amount of money to run.  Is he trying to imply that the Nats are spending more than the 29 other teams in MLB on their minor leagues and scouting?  I'd really like to know what his point is with that statement.

That is exactly his point.  Now in the Nats case I don't believe it for a second, that is the BS company line coming from Mark Lerner, but I do agree with the concept as he states is applied by Tampa.  If star players under 30 cost a fraction as much as the same players over 30, why hold on to our stars after they are no longer in arbitration as long as we have a constant pipeline from the farm?
