I agree, the Tampa reference is a red herring to point out that it is possible to build a good team without a high major league payroll, while that is true I'm not buying the idea that this ownership group is building the infrastructure necessary to pull that off.  Standard Natitude bullcrap, claiming that there is hidden spending going on behind the scenes; these are the same clowns who weren't paying their scouts expense reports on time.

Yeah, I agree.  The Rays are in a class by themselves.  I can't see the Lerners giving a $15 mil extension to a non-Strasburg pitcher after only 20 innings.  They haven't even done it for JZ yet.

It's possible to do it on a shoestring budget, it's just not very easy to do and requires its own brand of risk-taking.
