Regarding an agreement on the rookie wage scale:

1. Yes, it was one of the easier issues to resolve since the union is negotiating away some of the leverage of folks who are not members of the union at the moment.

2. Yes, any agreement on any issue more germane to a new CBA than agreeing that "night" will come after "day" is a plus.

3. However, let us continue to be rational and maintain our scorn for both sides of this mess. Remember, these guys are arguing over how to split ANNUAL revenues of $9B+ - - and that is money that comes from the fans. Realize they could still have a work-stoppage over how to split up OUR money.

Take the news of this "settled issue" positively but do not get carried away just yet...
