Dammit, I've had it with these big-market teams robbing small-market teams like Cleveland of their stars. If you don't think there's a competitive balance problem in baseball, open your eyes.

From your title, I thought it was an organ swap.

Boy that's a puzzler. Brandon Phillips is a top prospect, but Lee Stevens? Ugh. Expect Jim Thome to get traded to the Braves now for...Jason Marquis? Damian Moss? Marcus Giles? Super-prospect Wilson Betemit?
And once again, the Yankees are sitting back and laughing, because the Red Sox and Mariners REALLY could have used Colon. Hmmm...the Red Sox could really use Thome, too...

Exclusive the Indians palyer to be name later going to Montreal is pitcher Tim Drew who is 8-1 in his last 9 starts in AAA

A headline worthy of the
Telegraph.How many Indians were harmed in this transaction? Were they dot or feather? Why did Indians (plural) yield only a Colon (singular)?

You take one trade, and use it as proof positive there's no "competitive balance problem"?
You're blind. Everyone seems to realize this except you and George Steinbrenner. Even Bud Selig in an interview last week in the Sporting News calls a spade a spade:
"[W]e have a competitive-balance problem. I do believe the game has had this remarkable renaissance. Even with attendance down, we're going to draw 70 million people, which is great. But there's a competitive-balance problem and economic problems related to that."
You must be from New York; that's the only explanation I can think of for your continuing myopia.

Cleveland a "small-market" team compared with... Montreal? I'll assume this comment was sarcasm. If not, let me know...

It has GOT to hurt to have your Colon traded.
