Farm system says otherwise.

With the background of Luhnow with the Cards and what he's putting together with Houston, you can believe what you want. There's no money to pocket. They're not winning. There's no one going to the games.

When the ownership ignores the farm system and the big league club, then sure....I'd believe that. But watching how much foundation they've built in the last two years alone, they're headed in the right direction.

And what happens when it's time to pay the ones that actually turn out to be productive major leaguers? Odds are they will trade or not resign them, because that's what owners who sell this kind of bullshite to their fans do.

If you want to see what new owners who actually want to win do, check out what Mark Anastasio did with the Brewers. He actually spent money and guess what, the team became a lot more competitive immediately and the farm system wasn't hurt by it.
