We currently have Coke and Marte but Dunn will be protected on the 40 man and may even start the season as the closer at SWB sharing duties with Whelan but the Yanks are definitely high on that kind of impact arm from the leftside coming out of the pen Betsy

The Marlins $36,814,000. I'm quite sure they received well more than 37 M in revenue sharing. Where did the rest go. And to top it off they getting a publicly funded stadium. While the Yankees for the most part paid for their stadium. Yes they got tax free bonds, but they are paying for it. Mike- There should also be a floor.

According to Boras, say they get 80 million in revenue sharing. And say they have 70 million in salaries. They are already 'making' money before they even sell one ticket! I agree, teams that can't spend shouldn't exist. This is a capitalistic society. We aren't supposed to prop up corporations that aren't making money. Mike Point is they have the money to spend.

But if a team can't spend. they shouldn't exist. Thats why Jen.. there should be a salary Ceiling . not a Salary cap. in my honest opinion . and it may sound harsh.

Owners taking revenue sharing money and rather than putting it back into their team, pocketing the money (or as Boras is accusing them, paying down their debts). I really wish others would pick up on this. How long have we been talking about it here? Finally someone is talking about it!

But to me the biggest need is filling out our starting rotation. Andy is another year older. and Joba plus Hughes are question marks. Landing a Ben Sheets ,or Bedard, backed up by Ian Kennedy isn't the worse idea I’m not saying we need Lackey.

Seems to me, by the arguments going on here by the proponents of these statistics, you eyes are wrong and you can't possibly understand how good or bad a fielder the players are without the stats (which are compiled by people watching games and coming up with their stats based on observation). Stupid of the Yankees to waste resources on scouts. They can just go to the various web sites and get all they need from the stats.

This could be the basis of a good trade for both sides. Also you should always treat your employees with respect and look after their best interests when you can. rm
