Sure, but Tampa had something like 9 straight #1 picks. Thats one method the Ms could do if they tank until 2020, but it would kill the fanbase.
The biggest problem is the vast difference in revenue streams between the Ms and the division that is going to significantly widen once these TV deals start coming in. The Angels are becoming a second Yankees.
I wouldn't be suprised to see even more inflation in the future with the type of money in the game now. Anaheim took a risk, but a very calculated risk. Once everyone has their new TV deals, the FA market is going to look silly.
Basically, IMO the Ms can strike in the next couple years or choose to accumulate draft picks for the next decade.
