Yeah. I think (and I know the union reps wouldn't stand for it) that,
rather 
than negotiating contract pay, the negotiated salaries should be the 
*maximum*& salary players could receive and they should only receive
that 
salary, multiplied by the fraction of games their teams win over 162. 
Playoffs and the Series would be negotiated separately and players would

only receive that pay if their teams got there.

If a player was traded, his salary would be the sum of fractions of the 
teams winnning multiplied by his ultimate yearly salary.

Seems to me that would concentrate the minds of pitchers wonderfully and
get 
them to take seriously their jobs. And it might make most players
practice a 
bit more so that stupid errors would go down a bit.

And if *that* didn't work, we could pay hurlers only for strike-outs and

ground-outs. In other words, a premium would be placed on keeping the
ball 
down.

Yee haw!

Mike
