KL - running outa time for a reply (gotts go fishing).
If we were able to pay that kind of coin, we could buy the best too. Yes, the Yankees had broght up great players - like you mention - but it has been a while and the till is getting empty like ours. Niether the Sox or Yanks had much trade bait to offer this year and the farm systems for both are rough. Had we had your money (and had better management), maybe we would have been able to keep some of our guys along the way too. Right now we're going to lose some of these guys in a year or two cause we can't afford them: Nomar, Pedro, Manny (20 mil per year was stupid but we were being placated for not getting Mussina), Varitek, Lowe. And we did spend some on the guys nobody wanted: Walker, Millar, Muellar, Ortiz...
Ooops , clean fishing laundry needs to go into dryer...
