O/T - Yankees sign Teixeira

[Archive]

The part that I do not understand is...how much is too much and why are decisions made based exclusively on a small percentage of the money? In both instances, neither player wanted to play in New York. So basically Teixeira is making $2 million dollars a year to play for a team he would rather not play for. Over time, that is $20 million. How much is too much? When you add up a player's bank already, why not come to the conclusion that you will never spend all that bank and simply be happy. Sabathia wanted BADLY to play in the National League and on the West Coast. The Yankees, Cookie-Cookie, are in the American League and on the East Coast.

It is sick what the Yankees do each year but it gives us reasons to hate them. They haven't won a thing this millenium and teams with solid farm systems overlap them. Have you seen their farm system? Anyone see Adrian Hernandez lately?

Ian Kennedy? $30 and 3% interest per month... GHR! (inside shout out to Mr. 1956 PSA Registry Super Star).

This DOES NOT make them better. They still have Alex Rodriguez. Sabathia fills Mussina's spot. Burnett is undependable. Chamberlain is needed in a poor bullpen where they will once again rotate arms from Scranton. And once again, the Yankees will look up at both the Red Sox and Rays....(yawn)

Happy Holidays!
