Release everyone and bring up the AA team. Fire all coaches and hire McDonalds employees.

They brought up Cano. You don't like him.

They drew 4,000,000 fans to the decrepit old ballpark in a decrepit neighborhood. They made tons of money, a lot of it given to the other teams in revenue sharing and luxury tax. They made the post-season for the eleventh consecutive time.

Without the Yankees, baseball is a minor league sport.

[/ QUOTE ]Andy this is far to much reality for many baseball fans. However, it is 100% true. I can only imagine how much the ChiSox, Indians, Marlins, Nationals benefited from the Yankees and the Red Sox ridiculously high luxury tax.

In more ways than one! You see, since they bought all these 1-tool players, they became horrid horrid teams, which got beaten up by CWS and ANA.

There was a week not long ago where I believe I set the record for ill-informed posts, on the philosophy forum. You're coming very close, and it's only Wednesday. I'm pulling for you.

The Angels won the same number of games as the Yankees and the Red Sox; the White Sox won just four more. The difference between runs scored and runs allowed was about the same for all 4 teams.

Since the Yankees "bought all these one tool players," they made the playoffs eleven straight times, made the World Series six times, and won four championships. The Red Sox won their first World Series in eighty-five years. While the White Sox swept the Red Sox this year, the Red Sox swept the Angeles last year. These things happen in short series between two good teams.

What one-tool players have hurt the Yankees and Red Sox?

Andy, stop wasting precious moments of your life on deaf ears (I know, I should follow the same advice).
