Yes.
He's guilty of the policy in place.
And like I said, "It's broke."
...A sprinkle of salt on your potato salad? ...Pinch of pepper on your steak? Possible, but I don't care to go there.

Actually, journalism is good practice for conversing with some of the people on this board... 
I'm not sure the system is "broke". I wouldn't think Donald Fehr would allow anything resembling a defective system to be implemented. I'm not a big union guy, but I do recognize the MLPA is probably the most powerful union around, so it would be hard for me to acknowledge the union getting pressured into something "broken". So, it all comes back to Rafael and his choices.
You keep mentioning to burn the witch. You could be saying that about the system. Are you saying there's something you don't understand (the system), so let's get rid of it before it destroys us all?!
To me, this whole thing is like the day the skunk wandered into your backyard. The day was fine, then it started to stink. This whole mess stinks. I would rather (as much as it pains me) talk about how the Cubs will probably blow it again this year, than talk about steroids, cheating, gambling, whatever. It ruins the all-American game for me.
Care for any M&M's? I have plain, peanut, and the kind with sprinkles...(oops, never mind).

Burning the Witch is the easiest solution. Light the match and turn away. If there's another Witch, just get another match.
[Your metaphor of the skunk won't work for me in this case.
This Spring a skunk did wander through my back yard.
Not wanting it to take up residence, I killed it in my yard.
Mistake. Big Mistake!]
The Tigers have a tolerable schedule after getting pounded out West (Oakland, Seattle). Still looking for .500 by the end of the season.
Yes. M&M Peanut, please. ...And please, hold the sprinkles.
