[QUOTE=Shoeless Moe;2272155]See the problem with New Yorkers, such as yourself, is you were spoiled all those years when New York spent more than anyone and bought several WS. Now that the playing field has been closed, you can't win.
Gonna be fun watching Francona pitch around Judge and letting that cast of misfits try to win. If the Indians don't bounce the Yankees you can bet your ass the Astros will. How bad are Yankee fans rooting for Seattle, you know you are admit it. It's alright to be scared of the Astros, you should be![/] The Yankees Core Four teams were made up of the Core Four, players drafted by the Yankees and developed by the Yankees. Bernie Williams played his entire career with the Yankees. They were further strengthened by great trades that didn't cost any money. If you forgot, Paul O'Neill came to the Yankees by way of Roberto Kelly. The Yankees traded two minor leaguers and Marty Janzen for David Cone. Tino Martinez? Traded to the Yankees for Russ Davis and Sterling Hitchcock. Joe Girardi? Even he was traded to the Yankees for Mike DeJean. Knoblauch? Traded to the Yankees. Tim Raines? Traded to the Yankees. In fact, thinking back on those teams the two biggest free agent signings I remember everyone making a big deal about were Hidecki Irabu (4 years / 12.8 million) and Orlando Hernandez (four years / 6 million dollars).

I LOVED George Steinbrenner.
The man was passionate about winning and a great evaluator of talent in players that others overlooked. Nettles taylor made for Yankee Stadium. Chambliss just consistently good, never a league leader, but a LEADER on the team. Rivers, again made for the massive OF in Yankee Stadium and the need for speed to cover ground. Pesky table setter at the plate for the rest of the team. Piniella, another professional bat in the lineup or off the bench. This is sorely missing now, the ability to evaluate talent and intrinsic value to the team. It's not all about the big names but how the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

Let's just see about that, from 1996 to 2009 they won 5 WS, and were THEE TOP PAYROLL 4 of those 5, and 2nd once. This is out of 30 each year mind you and were almost always double the payroll of more than half the teams of any given season. Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 10-10-2022 at 04:45 PM.

I also find it interesting that Yankee Fans, several on here, say Judge is the new single season MLB HR champ.
Refuse to acknowledge the real single season champ, Bonds. Yet Yankee fans sure arn't giving back any of their WS trophies, yet their teams were littered with Steroid guys like Arod, Clemens, Pettitte, Knoblauch, Giambi, etc etc. Nice double standard Yankee fans. Such morons.
