No parity and you sometimes just wonder how much it actually matters to the smaller market owners to win. They're not going to compete with the spending, so they know their chances are more limited. I don't know if the statement was truly reflective of the business, but I remember watching Moneyball and the A's basically saying look, we can't compete with the big spenders in the league, and that's okay. It's just a fun family outing and that's all it needs to be. I feel like that's been the experience of a Reds fan for many years now. They'll make a couple of offseason moves, hope for the best, but at the end of the day they're not fully in to win it.
