Tex is a HECK of a player. One of the best in the game I would wager to say. I might even go as far to say he i the best 1st baseman in the AL.

Yes, all of you whiners can cry cry cry about the Yanks spending big bucks, buying a championship, blah blah blah....its only been PROVEN that its matters NONE how much money is spent. They all have to play as a TEAM and win. Yanks didnt do it well enough last year even with that payroll. The salary is a WEAK arguement only for whiners. How about some REAL discussion about them playing ball well enough to win??

I"m not sure that I would like my favorite teams to be able to have every player they want. Even if they win, they were supposed to. What's the point? Where is the strategy? Where is having to sacrifice one player for another? One strength for one weakness? I don't get it.

<< <i>YOu cant buy a championship club. >>
I think the Florida Marlins and Arizona Diamondbacks proved that you can in some situations. Both of those teams overspent, won a WS title and then had to dismantle their teams soon afterwards
if the new guys can handle the pressure of New York
Always looking for Chipper Jones cards.
Im a very focused collector of cards from 1909 - 2012...LOL
I love the old Yankees, because I'm a baseball fan. The new Yankees suck, and they're a disgrace to the sport and the franchise.
<< <i>How can you throw out the discussion of money, when that is a very real fact? The Steinbrenners think they can just lure in the best of the best with the biggest bucks and buy themselves a championship. >>
You can throw it out cuz its not a factor. Past 7 years have proven it. Yankees do not have the wealthiest ownership either. I think its the Twins owner who is. Just that the Stienbrenner family cares about winning and are willing to spend the money to give them the best chance. Be mad at the owners who line their pocket and not do their best to put a quality team on the field.
<< <i>they will still lose.burnett ansd sabathia have never been superstars neither has tex.It looked like he wAS washed up 2 years ago.YOu cant buy a championship club.Its gonna be funny watching the rays or sox winning that division with both sabathia and burnett with losing records and tex with his usual 250 25 90.Whatever >>
My first thought as I read this post was that it was that the writer was exceptionaly ignorant. I started thinking about it and decided that I might have been influenced by the writer's unfamiliarity with the rules of grammar. I decided to research the facts.
Did Tex looked washed up two years ago? Apparently not-he hit 306-30-105 with an OBP of 400. His OPS+ was 150.
Does Tex have a usual line of 250-25-90? No-his average per 162 games is 290-36-121. His career OPB is 378, and his career OPS+ is 134.
The problem with making inane statements is that it is so easy to check them these days.

Not any harder than last season....
<< <i>Not any harder than last season....
This team is obviously not last years team. Yes they may be the next 2008 Tigers, but i doubt it.

<< <i>Not any harder than last season....
Of course they will be harder to beat. They gained 3 front line players, and lost one (Mussina). Cano and Melky will probably be better. They got almost nothing out of Posada last year.
<< <i>True, all of their players are/were statistically some of the best on the teams they came from, but can they play together on the same team? Baseball seems to be a game of chemistry. You can have all the talent in the world, but sometimes they just can't play well together. We'll see I guess. >>
Yeah, those A's from 72-74 had no chemistry. They hated each other all the way to three WS titles. I'll take the talent and give you the chemistry.
They are FREE to sign with whatever team they choose.
Detroit had the best team on paper last year too.

Did I misinterpret something I read at one point?
do you realize that the Yanks payroll is still LESS??? How does this prove a need for a salary cap? Though I dont think it would be a bad thing, just wondering your reasoning.

Less than all the money on earth, by a small amount.

And for everyone who genuinely feels like the yanks are the evil empire, try your hardest not to act like the Red Sox fans have recently - conveniently not noticing that their own team has spent absurd amounts of money in the free agent market. If your team ever decides to mix it up with big boys by expanding the payroll, be sure to come back here and talk about how your beloved franchise is ruining the game.
That is, unless you are just feeling whiny and you don't actually have the courage of your convictions.
Happy Holidays!!!

The Yankees payroll will be less than it was last year.
You can resign your players at current market value. That way, home grown talent can stay and be paid, but free agent talent cannot be. Its about the only thing the NBA has that is good anymore.
<< <i>That is, unless you are just feeling whiny and you don't actually have the courage of your convictions. >>
Spoken like a true New Yorker. That is another reason why the Yankees are hated, there fans.
New Yankee Stadium----BILLIONS
Yankee Salaries---almost a Billion
Beer at the New Yankee Stadium---Priceless

Not a New Yorker. Not a big Yankees fan either.
But I will call out the hypocrites and the whiners. Particularly when they put together super flimsy arguments for hating franchises, fans, rules, collective bargaining agreements, etc.
Nice try, though.
