Enough said.'&quot; - Ari MeirovIt is pretty safe to say that the former baseball standout at the University of Oklahoma and first-round pick by the Oakland Athletics is solely focused on football going forward. The comments by Arizona Cardinals GM put the decision in perspective and raised even bigger issues in the state of baseball.A star quarterback in the NFL making around or equal to an entire professional baseball team’s payroll is concerning. This is a wake-up call for the MLB. It may be time to consider issuing payroll minimums across the league.This would not only allow players to be paid more, but it would also make the league more competitive.
