Cuban

[amarillo]

As anyone not living under a rock knows these days Mark Cuban is in the running to buy the Texas Rangers and I have seen several reporters make comments about his actions towards referees at Mavs games carrying over to the Umpires at Rangers games. Just was wondering what the group thought of such a well known vocal person becoming an owner. Good or Bad for baseball?

I don't know: Jump Ball (excuse the metaphor). On the one hand, he's got a ton of money and could use it freely, without a Salary Cap. On the other hand, I don't think Nolan Ryan would work with him: Mark's a little to hands-on for him, I'd think. Without Ryan, they're screwed no matter what they do.
