The New York Yankees have the luxury of being in New York City. If the Yankees management team lived in Minnesota or Oakland or had a $50 million dollar payroll, they would be where the Pirates are every single year.

It's easy to pick and choose players you want on your team, but difficult to build a farm system only to rebuild it every year and try and get your fans to buy in. The Marlins have had much success and the Rays will have to do so as well from here on in.
