I think he is the total problem and has no leadership ability whatsoever! Baseball still has a steroid problem and still refuses to do anything about it. Steroid users records should be taken from the record books. There also should be a salary cap. Why should certain big market teams be allowed to go for the best players year end and year out while the smaller market teams can't.

I don't know who remembers this, but Selig was still the part owner of the Brewers when he was named commissioner. I saw this as a conflict of interest at the time, and still have a problem with it. I don't see how he could have the best interests of baseball in mind if his thinking is one sided. I'm not saying he's the biggest problem in baseball right now, but changes need to be made, so why not start at the top and work your way down.

Him may be the biggest problem. He's the yes man for all the owners. He won't make any kind of decision. Plus he turns he back on every issue including Barry "Steroid" Bonds. Bud Selig is bad for baseball.......period!

Selig has done a lot of stupid things while commisioner, but he's done many good things, too i.e. wild card, world baseball classic, etc. However, with the things that baseball has a big problem with (huge salary differences, steroids) he's done a poor job at handling. In short, no I don't think he's the problem, but he's not done anything to stop the problem.

He is a slimy car salesman with no spine. He allowed the steroid thing to go on, and even used the posterboys (mcgwire, and sosa) as advertising for the league. Then when congress came down on baseball he waffled some more. The guy needs to grow a pair and take a stand on Baroid. He is going to allow this circus to give baseball a black eye again. We need a Judge Landis to replace this loser.

I consider him to be part of the problem, in that I felt he didn't take a strong enough stand against the steroid issue. The Federal Government had to clean up his league for him.
That said, the players are adults, and the ones that tainted the game through steriod use are ultimately the ones responsible for their actions.

I think he is a problem, but not THE problem. He doesn't seem to care about the huge differences in payrolls, out of control spending on terrible free agents, or steroids/HGH/Barry Bonds. Go Royals.

I think he is A problem, but not THE problem. He doesn't take much action, and he isn't active enough. Also, he takes too long to make a decision.

It's not necessarily his problem, but a porblem in all sports.
STEROIDS.
Baseball has a strict rule against it, but more testing and advance testing needs to be done.
Hank Aaron never needed steroids to pass Ruth, but Bonds needs it...
