When I said replace them, I wasn't talking replacement players. I never said I 
despised the players either. I just think they have one sweet deal with what 
they already have. 

For replacements why not let the majors fend for themselves? Call up every 
city (or state) like who is getting screwed by MLB usually by not even having 
a team, and have city teams? 
Any major city could have one. 
Minneapolis 
St Paul 
Duluth
Rochester
Plus every bigger city in all the other states. 
many more games, sell cheaper tickets like $5
Build smaller fields, each city can own their own team and field. Keep the 
profits too.
Salary caps at say $100000 (including owners)
You would have many more games, cheaper tickets, become a more friendly 
affair. Plus the community would be more willing to invest in it as they would 
have a stake in the profits.

That's what I mean by replace them. Of course that's a lot like minor league 
and why the leaders of the city and state leaves them out of the equation and 
bend over backwards for millionaire owners crying for money I will never 
know. 

That's more real for us all having baseball. But MLB isn't interested in that. 
MLB is about money not baseball. Baseball just happens to be how they 
make that money. Make no mistake on that. That's why they only have a few 
teams eligible for the entire "World Series". Fewer teams means more profit 
for the cats at the top.
I don't despise them for it-but I don't think they deserve any special favours 
for it either. 
That's why I would much rather see mayors like RT try for that instead of a 
new stadium for the Twins. While I don't support spending $10 million for the 
Twins, I would support the expense for a team to play against the Saints.
