For those of you who believe the Yanks "buy" teams, consider the origins of the following:

They don't 'buy' teams, but the number of other MLB teams who can afford to go on spending sprees of the likes of the Yankees is a number that happens to be lower than 1. Its not hard for a team to look good if they have $130 million to spend.

Yeah ... Arizona's got a great farm system.

Bullsh*t!

From memory only, the Yankees are one of about a half-dozen teams who have been, or are close to the highest salary total.

Some of the others are...

Baltimore

Texas

Los Angeles

Boston

New York Mets


How many world titles have these teams won over the past few years? Or better yet...EVER???

Yeah, the Yanks spend a lot but they are also the BEST organization in Baseball.

Their core is from the farm - that cannot be denied. Yes, they acquire great pitchers, but a lot of teams have that ability. Clemens never got a ring with the Sox.
