December 5, 200718 yr What is the point of getting so many prospects if when they break out and become awesome players, they get traded away??? The Marlins just develop prospects for that later they can be "sold". Next player traded: Hanley Ramirez

December 5, 200718 yr Economics of Baseball 101 Today's topic: The reserve clause Teams hold the rights of players for 6 fully-played years in the majors. In the first 3, they have no say over their contract. The following 3, their price is restrained (or helped) by the arbitration process.
