The two practices that MLB needs to appropriate from the NFL is a real salary cap and non-fully-guaranteed contracts...

Easier said than done. I believe we'll see more and more guarantees in the NFL moving forward. What baseball really needs to do is to go electronic balls and strikes. Tennis has done it on line calls and it works great.

Only guarantees I'd like to see in football with regards to contracts is teams take out insurance on their dime players that they franchise-tag...

They'd be insured for the guaranteed level of the top three earners at their respective position for a four year period...

This would be a win-win for both teams working to stay within a salary cap and for players who play on a one year deal and get injured...

My one big observation is that Payton needs to stop taking Brees out of the game. The man is one of the best QB's to play the game and sees the field better than any of the other players, including and especially Taysom Hill.
