Is that list any worse for duplication than what we see in other sports?
Cubs/Astros/Red Sox largely won the last three coming out of rebuilds and collecting home frown talent. Giants are not a welfare team but they we more the home grown pitching of Bungarner/Cain/Lincecum getting them there.
Blue Jays suck because their drafting has been bad and they paid Tuluwitzki and Martin 40 million to do very lititle this past season.

Not to mention that when the Jays won their 2 world series, they were the highest payroll team in the majors, and i dont think anyone was complaining about that back then.
Its just part of the sport. Draft well and, if not more importantly, be the best at coaching and development. You will compete in cycles, but it will happen.
