: This is my last comment on this to both of you. Check the top ten payrolls this year. Every team but the inept Dodgers and Orioles from the list are the eight playoff teams. I'm not for a cap myself, but don't say with a straight face that one big reason why the Yankees dominate now isn't because of the money they generate and pay out.
oh, of course. but what ticks me off (well, ok, it doesnt :-D) is how yankee-haters say we're good only because we go out and get all the high-priced free agents. not true. while we may be able to sign, say, shawn green in 2000 (and most clubs won't be able to), we also have gotten talent from within the system (ledee, posada, rivera, bernie, jeter, pettitte, mendy, etc.)
