Bye, Bye Barry, but What About MLB's Addiction?

Barry Bonds is on his way into the O.J. Simpson Hall of Infamy, but was he really the problem, or just a symptom of a system that is addicted to television revenue and will do just about anything to get a fix?
The MLB is sick, very sick, and it is jonesing big-time for a few real super-stars in that large pack of under-performing multi-millionaires.
It may be fun to rag on A-Rod, and maybe even shake your head at the fact that Scott Boras has the nerve to want to charge about $1.1 million per home run year, but nothing replaces quality on the field. The high-energy, dynamic game of baseball still exists, but you have to visit Pawtucket or Sacramento to see it played like that day-in and day-out.
The MLB got hooked on big name, big dollar players like Bonds, and has turned a very large blind eye to what they do to maintain that super-star caliber of play. Can MLB do something about kicking its drug habit?
I wrote a piece on my blog over at the MAJOR BLOGS of Minor League News about how they could do just that. (Oh, and Ty, It's free... ;) )

There are a couple of people on this board that tell me you're a good guy. Be a good guy and find something more positive to do with your life than sit out here in cyberspace and rank on people trying to do an honest thing and inform people about a part of the sports world they don't hear much from in the media.
GET A LIFE.
