ChrisIt helps to have an extra 75 million or so to use to outbid for everyone as well. The Yankees were looking pretty "loserish" back in the days of Kevin Maas and Hensley Meulens. Give Kansas City, Pittsburgh, etc. the same budget and I think it would take them 2 years tops to get to the top of the heap.
The Cubs and Red Sox do seem to have that loser stigma though -- I will agree with you on those two teams...
