    ARBITRATION?????????????

    You completely ignore such important aspects of baseball and thigns that impact payroll.

    And I LOVE It!!!!!!

    Win what? Despite having the largest payroll by a large margin they have won 1 world series in the past 9 seasons.

    How intelligent do you have to be to to buy Teixeira,A-Rod,Sabathia,Burnett etc...? Give your local high school drop out who has some knowledge of baseball and give him 206 million to spend, I'm sure he can come up with similar results!

    The Washinton nationals have taken over the DC area... Baltimore should just pack up their franchise, and use their stadium as a personal parking lot for all of Strasburgs cars he will buy in the future

    So the yankees have a payroll of $206,333,389.00 and you are still making excuses.

    Choate
    Soriano

    Pena
    Crawford

    Did I win? Not sure if I got them ALL. I'm not good with these games.

    However...if you go by performance and what these guys "should" be making...that's a lot more than the $71,000,000 they're working with now.

    And you've proved my point. The team with the largest payroll doesn't always mean World Series Titles.

    It's fact! Not saying it works every year but more often than not yes! Give any team 206 million dollars to spend the odds will always be in their favor to field the best talent! Give the Pittsburgh Pirates 200 million to spend. I guarantee you they will be a contender every year and have a great chance at the world series. That's common sense!

    Just because you have a slightly higher payroll than a team doesn’t mean you should have a better record than them. That’s silly.

    However, if you have a payroll that is almost 3 times more than a team, you have no excuse.

    Surely even a yankee homer can see the difference.

    You know im a yankee fan but in the nfl im a fan of the small market bills who wont spend shit for money. Honestly i hope the nfl loses a salary cap because i would have no problem with the bills falling even farther back because other teams are willing to spend more money then them. Thats the way it should be.  Ralph wilson
