I think  that the rules have been very effective at moderating the highly 
concentrated  deals.  The cap, floor and asterisk rules provide meaningful  
limits.  The bidding rule that makes it essentially impossible to  unilaterally 
create an asterisk player works too.  We have four teams in  the running with 
trades going beyond pure magic bean types.  By making it  really tough for one 
team to get all of the high value players that a  non-contender has top offer it 
seems reasonable to expect a greater number of  deals in which the 
non-contending team attempts to harvest its current  value.  By disbursing value 
throughout the league we tend to keep a more  level playing field.  We've eliminated 
the bulk of the huge deals we used  to see.  When major league teams are out 
of the running, they dump salary  and take prospects for the future.
