Oh well, I'm not going to pay attention to baseball until they get the entire league off the roids and put in a salary cap.
its like 5% who are on roids. and there is no reason for a salary cap when cheap ass owners dont want to pay out for a good team and would rather just keep cutting payroll

Werd. George Steinbrener is a fawking idiot. He's making it really hard to be a Yankee fan. He continues to spend obscene amounts of money on overaged free agents. And the 1 guy that was a necesity to bring back, he decides to let go. On top of that, the farm system is virtually non existant. If you're a yankee fan.....be afraid......be very afraid. :ugh:
What overage Free agents have they signed so far? :thinking: Brown was a trade. Sheffield is not a done deal and i could see that collapsing.
Very easily could see Vlad who is 26 i think or Griffey whos 31? in Yankee Pinstripes next year

Could be but I think these players are going after still put up numbers and arent 1 year wonders
I dont really like Steinbrenner having complete control but hes doing what he thinks it will take the keep the AL pennant in NY
lets see. I feel like i should add some info to this. The yankees did not really go hardcore after Pettite until after it was too late. their original offer was for 3/30million. they were just sitting back waiting and hoping that Houston wouldnt offer enough or pettite would just want to walk back to new york.
The yankees farm system is very weak right now. the only real names are Henson and Almonte. and Henson is headed to the NFL. the yankees and henson were working on buying out the rest of his baseball contract. both sides realized that his baseball career was not gonna work out.
As far as brown not working out. I think he will. He is no different then the Red Sox getting Schilling. Injuries were actually in Browns favor last year and stats were very compariable.
