Miller Time
Marvin Miller, that is, the infamous head of the Player's Association in the 70's who did so much to define what free agency would become. Peter Handrinos at all-baseball.com interviews the 88-year-old, asking the question that's on everyone's mind right now: how will the hockey lockout affect baseball in 2006?PH: Do you think the NHL deal will influence the Major Leagues’ new collective bargaining session, in 2006?MM: It’s hard to anticipate, but we can do a little guessing.
I think what’s happened in hockey will make the baseball bargaining situation much more difficult than it would otherwise have been. I think there always at least a few hard line owners who maintain that they’d somehow be better off if they put the screws to the players, even if they sacrifice a season, two seasons, what have you. They’ll look to the hockey situation as proof of their theory.
It’s not inevitable that this will happen, because baseball’s in a very good position, a very popular position.
