Bring on those damn Yankees!

What made the Yankees great for this decade is the fact they had 5 great prospects of their own: Jeter, Williams, Petitte, Rivera and Posada. Where would the "Dynasty be without there likes on the team.

They kept all their good prospects and traded off the questionable ones. How many Yankee prospects in the 10 years even start for a team. Guzman, Milton, Lowell, those are all I can come up with. Heck the Twins have 2 of them and you know they have good prospects themselves so they might know a thing or 2 about prospects.

They could afford to keep each and everyone of these prospects plus plug in All-Stars around them. Don't you think the Twins would have had a better chance in Game 3 with Eric Milton on the mound and Eddie and LaTroy in the bullpen to go woth the kids and maybe afford to keep Kenny Rogers for another year? Heck, Don't you think the A's would be awesome if they could have afforded to keep Giambi and Tejeda.

That is what's wrong with the system today you can grow your own prosecpts and in a couple years you can only pick and choose the ones you would like to keep.

That's my beef on the state of baseball,
