I hardly know where to start.

First off, yes I do watch Orioles-Tigers games and I enjoy them(I have the MLB Extra Innings package and it's awesomw). The idea that the game is watered down now because of too many teams is mathematically ridiculous. 300 million Americans and large chunks of the rest of the world supplying players to 30 teams versus 100-120 million white Americans supplying 16. Do the math.
The players are bigger and better than ever. Look at the history of baseball and you'll see that not every guys was great; there were plenty of .190 hitting bums starting throughout the last century. Yes, attendance is off from last year but the weather has been terrible in the Northeast versus last year. Let's wait until the whole year is played until we pronounce the patient dead yet again.
