Brew Crew

As I think about an Astros management team (GM Gerry Hunsicker, President Tal Smith, Tim Purpura) who manage to keep the team in contention most years despite Drayton McLane's unwillingness to spend much money, I can't help but think that a team whose president is Wendy Selig-Prieb and whose payroll is non-competitive has much deeper problems than will be solved by firing Davey Lopes.

And the fact that so many teams are remarkably similar to the Brewers -- and there are a handful of perennial powers due to payroll (Yankees, Braves) -- probably does not bode well for Major League Baseball.
