If in favor list ideas here.
my plan was/is to take 10,20, or 30 percent of all teams yearly revenue and put it in one big pot, then divide equally by 30. I'll see if I can dig up the template I made last season to show examples of what teams would gain/lose. I think the biggest loss was like 6 or 7 mil even at 30% but don't quote me on that.

I dont think revenue sharing would affect you one way or the other Stros.

Revenue Sharing
This is a must for this league to be viable a few years down the road. Unless we want just the medium to big markets to survive and compete every year. Even the cost of minimum wage players is going up 10% every year which doesn't sound like much but consider last year it was at 204K and this year it is 226k. Now if you have 30 players on your roster that are minimum wage, which most small markets do, then you are talking 600k bump in your team payroll just because it rolled over. Each year the better players demand more money to sign long term, and without revenue sharing, the small markets are going to become a developmental team for the big markets, a AAAA if you will. That is not fun for anyone. The ability to take the Royals, Rays, Marlins to the playoffs is exciting, but will not be a possibility in 5 or 6 years under the current format. Reduce inflation and some revenue sharing is a must. Does it really matter to the Yankees if they have 84 mill in their bank account as opposed to 78? The cool thing about Cy Young is the opportunity to right the wrongs of baseball's past. Not having a salary cap is the number one mistake that baseball made.

Revenue sharing is a must.
What it really comes down to for me is, why shouldn't the teams share some revenue with other teams if they wouldn't have any revenue without the other teams? The other teams are half the product, and without them, there would be no revenue to earn in the first place, so it only makes sense they are given a share of it.

If my memory serves me correctly, Commish had a pretty good plan laid out last season. I'm for it if it's even remotely similar to that plan.

If you took 30 percent of the revenue, at 200 mil for the yanks, they would lose almost 70 million dollars..

I think we could start at 10 percent and see how that works.

You clearly have no idea how this works.
It is 30% of all revenue from all teams. Every team puts 30% into the pot. Then the total is divided by 30 and given back to the teams. In the Marlins case you put 1 mill in and get 4 mill back making 3 mill. Noone ever loses 70 million. 6 or 7 would be the most possible.

If you have no idea how something works, then you shouldn't give your opinion on it.

If you took 30 percent of the revenue, at 200 mil for the yanks, they would lose almost 70 million dollars.. If your going to argue everything, then you seriously need to take a look at the game sometime so you know what your talking about. The Yankees aren't even remotely close to making 200 mil in revenue. It's more like 115 mil. And you would not be taking 30% of that away from them. It would go into one big pile of money that would be evenly distributed to all teams, including them. At 30% they may lose 10-15 mil. Which I admit is a lot but they would still pocket 30-35 mil a season. If it were just up to me I'd start at 10-20 and see if that helps. I got some stuff to do but I'll try to at least make one example later tonight like I did last year but based off of this years projections.

ok I don't know how to post tables on these boards so you'll have to go to this link to see it. www.freewebs.com/ae37jr/revsharingat20.htmIt's rev sharing at 20% based on rounded off predicted revenue. The biggest loss would be the Yankees at 11.5 mil, second highest is dodgers at 5.5. The biggest gain would be Mil at 5.8. -13 teams would gain/lose less then 2 mil -8 teams would gain/lose less then 1 mil But the most important thing is Fla, SDP, Cin, TBD, and Mil would receive 4.5-5.8 mil. They currently earn 35 mil or less in rev. Team like the Astros/Mets spend almost that much in farm/medical alone.
