I think both are equally to blame. Fehr thinks he's above the Govt who are now investigiating the steroid scandal while Selig is a joke & nothing more than a puppet.

That is a tough question. I would say Fehr because he knows what he is doing (and making tons of money off the fans suffering), while Selig is simply a moron with no clues.

I don't believe it is a question of blame. Fehr and Selig both have obligations to support their constituency and to make decisions accordingly. Baseball has always had the ability to work through their problems and the game has continued to prosper. Attendance has gone up each of the past three years from 73 million in 2004, 74 million in 2005, and 76 million in 2006, and it will probably be above 76 million this year. There are always going to be problems that the players union and management are going to have to address, and I am certain they will. The game of baseball is bigger than the problems they face and as long as Fehr, Selig, or anyone else that comes along understands this than baseball will continue to grow and prosper.

Both are to blame, but I blame Selig slightly more. Fehr is a corrupt waste of human flesh, but Selig had the authority to stand up to him. But since he (Selig) has the spine of a jellyfish, that simply was not going to happen.

Selig. Boras is merely utilising the loose agent gadget and the draft gadget to make money - he's valuable because of the fact the vendors frequently finally end up giving in to him for concern of finding undesirable. He'd be basic to triumph over if absolutely everyone had any cojones. Selig is a miles better undertaking. He has presided over the sport's slide from being "united statesa.'s pasttime" to an additionally-ran. He thinks a pastime ruled via a handful of markets is nice, yet won't be able to know the fact that they are development no new followers in Pittsburgh, in Kansas city, in Baltimore, or any of various different cities that won't be able to in many cases compete with the Yankees, crimson Sox, or different communities which could spend 2, 3, or 4 cases as lots. He thinks that merely because of the fact MLB is making money, they seem to be a healthful pastime.

mlb is healthy,but needs to remember its fans

selig,fehr is not a problem,check with team owners and players union

Specify what the problems are, and a diagnosis is that much easier.
Historically, however, many of baseball's issues can be traced back to pecuniary, inflexible team owners, and that's probably still true today.
