I've talked about this before, but I'm a HUGE Yankees fan, but I can not stand the Steinbrenners. What's bad is Hank is worse than George. I can't stand how the Yankees are run. The Yankees won in the 90s on the backs of guys that were brought up through the minor league systems, not by big names with big contracts. When they get back to that they'll get back on track. Cano, Gardner, Chamberlain, those are the guys I'm excited about. The one free agent that we picked up that I was excited about is AJ Burnett. If they had only picked him up and not CC or Teix, I would have been completely happy. The thing is that if there was a salary cap, people would still hate the Yankees, so I don't think the fact that they spend money has everything to do with why people dislike them.
What's funny though, is the Yankees' payroll is $10 million less than it was last year. We drop two guys and we end up having enough to sign four quality guys and have money left over.
