That confused me. I think the Yanks may have overpaid for someone who may break down real soon. At the very least, it is very risky. Thanks for the debate.

NYGPopgun10 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 What I'd be curious to know is what the Yanks' payroll was when they won in '96, '98-00. I think the payroll didn't start to go ballistic until 2001 when the Yanks coincidentally landed their own station. That's when all of a sudden, they started getting every megastar no matter the cost. Matsui Contreras Giambi A-rod Sheffield Brown Vazquez (Now Johnson) Some have worked out. Some have blown up in their faces. Now, let's look at the Mets and what they're doing now. They have a new station coming in 2006. They already gave Pedro Martinez a ransom to which any Sox fan could say overpaid and breathe easier. They have offered Carlos Beltran over $100 million for 6 years. The asking price of Scott BorAS$. They have also told Beltran they would go out and get other guys (i.e. Delgado). Since when have the Mets went after the biggest names on the market? Has a lot to do with their new station. Similar to the Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastside Oasis Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I wonder why this was posted at all. It was the biggest foregone conclusion in history. The thing that Yankees fans need to worry about is the fact that they probably have the oldest team in professional sports history. They are bound to break down any time. They will then be on the hook for major, unmovable contracts. Also they have seen what steroids can do to their players. Giambi is worthless now and how long before all the roids Sheffield took catch up with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used the term Alaska and "I have a friend in that state." Alaska, being a state...(I'd love to be sitting there watching you process this). <ding> It's too bad you don't have a friend who teaches grammar and how to write in the "spoken concise word". Then you would only look like an idiot because you insist on using grade school euphemisms for the word Yankees in virtually every "contribution" you make here. Well, Martin Luther King had a dream - and look where that got him. I have a heart. It's small and black - but it's mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 First, Oakland didn't get screwed. They are more than likely going to have a great 1-2-3 punch again by next year. They picked up a ton of talent between the Cards and Braves trade. Second, if Florida decides to move Beckett/Willis/Burnett I believe they will end up getting value. Look at the Penny move. 195986[/snapback] While I agree that Oakland didn't get "screwed" to say that these trades helped Oakland for the short term like they have helped Atlanta and St. Louis just isn't correct. The best player in either deal may be Darric Barton but he's probably a couple years away at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Did the Yankees wake up one day with all this money?????? YES!!!!!!!!! They are in a metropolitan area of 25 million people. It is easy to sell tickets, the television contract is huge. For a team like the Pirate to sign their own players, if they were good would soon result in a payroll over a $100 million. That is what it takes to compete with the big market teams. Pittsburgh can NEVER get $100 million in revenue if they sell every seat for every game and every tv in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area turned on every game. IT CAN NOT BE DONE. As for players staying in small markets at discounted rates, give me a break. 196114[/snapback] So what's the Mets excuse?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
