And your point? Pretty sure I said in my post that Major League payroll is an issue. But it's also completely ridiculous to waive off the money spent on the draft as inconsequential. One doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the other. Give credit where credit is due. Major league payroll is an issue, the amount of money spent on the draft is not.
There are far worse owners and situations in baseball. It's tiresome listening to people dwell on only one side or the other. The Lerners have done some good things and some not so good things. Giving credit to what they do well doesn't mean you absolve them from things the need to do better.
my point is that is that the money spent even on harper is a relative drop in the bucket in terms of major league payroll. I'm not crediting them with going over slot anymore than I'd credit them with signing a free agent middle reliever
