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?


Yeah, the Yankees only outspent Boston by about $400 million over the past ten years..


I see the similarities there...

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...

18 postseason appearances in a 19 year career

Building a team to win a short series is damn near impossible

You build the best team you can for 162 an he's been damn near perfect

Is that right

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

Would that be correct?



Fuck the rest of the league...


They don't field more homegrown talent than the Yankees and Red Sox.

They are the worst organization in all of baseball at building from within.

probably not....

They have what...2 position players? And one fucking beeeelows....


If you really think this team is enjoying it's current success because of Hughes, Nova, Pettitte Gardner and Cano and the mixed bag of shit in the bullpen?

Weak people avoid direct questioning

The Yankees finish ahead of the Sox only because they spend more

Why do the Sox finish behind the O's and Rays?

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



They didn't spend $180 mil last year. Not even close.

Sorry, it's a fanbase full of cowards

This entire season, for about the 10th straight one is blowing up in their faces, in regards to the Yankees, so there's always another angle
