Spring training delayed. Highly doubtful season starts on time.  I understand why the Owners locked out - they don’t want another ‘93.  I tend to side more with players on most issues.  But I have no confidence in the leadership.  Particularly Manfred

I agree.  Leadership is sorely lacking…..

IMO, the CBA should include: 

1) A significantly increased minimum salary and the establishment of a means to reward players for exceptional performance prior to their third year.
2) Arbitration after the third year
3) No revenue sharing between clubs
4) Establishment of a payroll floor 
5) Elimination of the CBT payroll ceiling

Yeah, I guess I am in the players camp this time….

If an owner doesn’t like the new rules, he can sell his interests for a tidy profit to someone else.
