Without a salary cap in the MLB most mid-sized / small cities won't have much of a chance. The salary cap they have now is not worth much. I am surprised that ST. Louis is doing as great as they are with their middling payroll though. They have a great scouting department. Seems like everything they touch is gold.
Plus, Houston has created the template for the future of MLB as far as smaller markets. They basically have put a statistician in charge of putting the team together. And so far, he's doing well. 1st place.
