But the $$$ is spent on the right players, Just looj at the Rangers,Skins to see $$ spent on the wrong players year in and year out~!
alright BG, I'm going to shoot this one down!! Nothing against you of course
I'm a Mets and Rangers fan and will be the first to admit that they are a bunch of morons as an organization and hopefully will learn from free agent flocks from the past years. But what I hate more than anything else is when a Yankees fan says that the Yankees have the hights payroll in sports but it's well spent. Oh really?? check out the following players salaries who do not contribute squat to the team.
Jose Contreras- $ 5.5 million/year (if anyone argues that this is well spent is a moron!)
Stenve Karsay- $5 million/year (has he pitched in the past 2 years?)
Jeff Weaver- $4.125 million/year (this guy makes about 1 million per win)
Gabe White- $3.2 million/year
Antonia Osuna- $2.4 million/year
Mike Mussina- $12 million/year (he's good but not worth that kind of money)
Chris hammond- $2.2 million/year
And as good as Giambi is, I don't think that he is worth $11.5 million/year.
So don't say that the Yankees payroll is well spent. They do have some players that are very good and deserve their salaries and get them the wins they have but they as an organization are also guilty of spending ridiculously.
