Most Yankee fans in New Jersey are
LOATHING the fact that George Steinbrenner
has privately admitted that HE WANTS Pedro Martinez
next year.
The Yankee fans HATE him.
The Yankee players HATE him.
Do you think he will end up with the club ?

Oh, and forget this "we hate him" crap - if he joins the Evil Empire, watch how fast Yankee fans add Pedro jerseys to their A-Fraud jerseys...

I hope not. The Yankees don't need to buy their own offspring.

Look at the facts and reality, not your perception.
The Red sox have two home growns and one player native to Boston. That's it as far as starters go.
The Yankees have more home growns: Jeter, Williams, Rivera, Posada and I am not even counting the New York natives.
For all that call Yankees mercenaries, Look at your own teams and see what the reality is. ALL BASEBALL TEAMS ARE MERCENARIES more or less

Who really cares that the Yanks have "4 homegrown players" and the Sox have only "2"? There are 40 players on a team, so its obvious that neither, or any team for that matter, has a significant number of players that come from their own farm systems. Free agency makes that pretty much impossible. What is significant is the size of the actual payroll - $194 Million for the Yanks (and sure to keep going up), vs. $128 Million for the Sox. That's almost $70 Million dollars higher - or, more than the entire payroll of many other MLB teams!
One could argue that the only reason the Sox had to spend what they spent was to stay competitive with New York.
Chris Knuckles' Nilan.....Boston bred homeboy, playing for the HATED, LOATHED, DESPISED, SPIT ON Montreal Canadiens...Nilan is hated every bit as much, if not MORE than Les Habs...punching the lights out of every player he could get his hands on....thorwing so many lefts, his opponents begged him for a right....Bruins fans attending games in the Garden pretty much had nooses under their jackets should they run into him ANYWHERE. THEN, time goes on....'Knuckles' lands in a Bruins uniform...and BOY, didnt the Bruins faithful just LOVE him.....same will go for Pedro in New York....start calling him Petey Pinstripes.....
