And to the cat that is going on about the salary cap, teams like the Pirates, Twins, and Royals have the money to spend but choose not to. It may not be Yankee money but it's a lot more than what they do spend. So if you want a salary cap you should also have a minimum salary cap for what you have to at least spend.
^one awesome thing of being a Yankee fan; lovin the hate.

So if you want a salary cap you should also have a minimum salary cap for what you have to at least spend.Every other sport has a salary cap to keep things balanced and competitive. If a team in the NFL wants to sign a player with a blockbuster deal, then that is less money they have to spend elsewhere. It keeps bad managerial decisions from taking precident over the game itself. Off season Yankees moves have become almost as big of a spectacle as the 9 months of play.And no, not every team has the money to spend like the Yanks. Sure, Carl Pohlad is a billionaire, but if he went out and spent $300mill a year on personnel, he'd be broke in a matter of years. The Yanks get hundreds of millions from their TV contract with YES, and tons of money from franchising rights, concessions, etc. Steinbrenner is still making hella money off the Yankee name alone no matter what ridiculous amount he decides to pay his players. The Twins are not, and never will. As much as this state loves it's baseball, there is no way in hell they are getting a nine figure TV endorsement or come close to selling the amount of merchandise the Yankees do.

Dude had a nice record b/c his bullpen saved him a ton of times. He has only lived up to his ability a couple of times in his career. He can't stay healthy and 2 of the 3 seasons he did were contract years lol. Burnett has Pavano 2.0 written all over it.18 W's? thats not luckFirst of all where did I say luck ? Again Yanks fans getting hurt when we dont bow down to everything and anything the Skanks do. In 2006 Steve Trashpail had 15 wins for the Mets with an ERA near 6. Wins aren't good way to measure how good a pitcher is. And like I said from talking to Jays fans there were plenty of games where the bullpen came in and saved his ass.
