note where the yankees drafted strengths are - up the middle. note where they get free agents - pitching. maybe there's a model to be followed here, instead of dreaded. oh yeah. and they got one of the best 1B in the game via free agency. note that they didn't get fred mcgriff or mark grace via free agency, but the best FA.
yeah, it's nice to be the yankees and able to pay giambi whatever whatever. but the yankees also don't bother with the crummy FAs, just to have FAs. yeah, rondell white sucked, but they didn't know that when they signed him.
free agency is demonized. what should be demonized is chuck lamar and syd thrift.
