3/5ths of the rotation

The entire bullpen

Homegrown

First place

Who else in baseball boasts the same?

Too bad it's the 3/5ths that fucking sucks, or is currently on the DL with oldmanitis.......

Shawn Kelley, Boone Logan, Cody Eppley, Alberto Gonzalez =/= "home grown"...

Yes Down

I know the number is real

I didnt know Snoogins was saying it as a literal. Like there are tons of teams that spend a lot of money. I thought in snoogins hypothetical he was saying its easy to have that kind of success when your team spends big money every year .... I didnt know he was being literal in sticking to the 200 mil number



wow, was that post as annoying to type out as it was to read......cause i'm guessing: yes, you were annoyed typing that out

Pettitte left Houston and signed as a free agent.


He ain't homegrown any more.

Is that right

The Yankees field more homegrown talent than any competetitive team, save a Rays and a Nats maybe?

Would that be correct?

How has spending big money worked out for the Red Sox?

How is it that they finish behind teams they spend 50-80 million more than?



That is what I was trying to get across

The phils, Angels and Sox ALL had payrolls OVER 160 mil and none made the playoffs

The dodgers this year are over 200 mil and wont make the playoffs

Seems like an appropriate time to re-post this gem...


So funny. Watching it without the volume on and was thinking to myself - "lemme guess - the Yankee fans are the ones wearing the too small Ed Hardy shirts and looking like they got rejected from the Jersey Shore casting call."

I'm sorry, but does any one of us think that if we were $200 million to spend every year for a decade, that we couldn't coax at least one title out of it?

Even Chappee could pull that off...


But at $180 million, you could only win 69 games!

Go Crazy!

Remember two weeks ago when I told Dirt - the argument will soon change to money now that age, power, pitching etc have failed?

I remember it

You're knew to being a Yankee fan...that number is very real...has been for about 10 years now...not every season individually..but the average over that 10 years is probably just about $200m even...

Over that ten years? I'm willing to bet the closest team is probably about $500m behind them....

"Honor and tradition"


DOWN!!!!

YOU ARE ALIVE!?!?!?!?!?!?

I guess Omar Minaya was worse than Cashman...


But I cant' think of anyone else who accomplished less with more than Cashman did.


If the Yankees were even mediocre at drafting, they'd be unbeatable...

When you don't draft one single player of consequence that plays for your organization in
fifteen years... You really need to be fired hard...

Yeah everyone sucks dude. That why all they do is keep winning.

And let's name the very worst guys in the games best pen, and stand on that to make my point.

3/5ths of the Yankee rotation sucks, that's why they give up 2 runs a series like Its what they're supposed to do

So he's not perfect. Congrats

Wanna discuss the billions wasted by other GMs that don't even have one postseason appearance to show for it?

I heart you good, Dirt, but that's going to be a short list. Has anyone else been given the opportunity to spend "billions?"

Plus, you called Dickey a sack a sugar.

Well Done Sir, Well Done!:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
