il Padrino Ute is an unknown quantity at this point
Default The Marlins did the same thing..

after they won their first World Series. They got rid of some high salaries, decided to not spend as much money and worked their way back to the top after not too many years.

Look at Steinbrenner spending more money than a few 3rd world countries GNP and he has nothing to show for it but an incrediblely high payroll.

If it worked once, why not do it again? It sounds like the Malrins are doing something right.
