My problem with the Yanks is that they always get the guy they want in free agency, they seem to get the top guy every year. I'm not going to diss Steinbrenner, because he is using the resources he has, and he's built up those resources really well.

However, the resource edge the Yankees have over the A's, Mariners, or anyone else is staggering. The Yankees income is something over $200 million a year, I heard $220 million earlier this year, but I don't have a link or the article, so I odn't know for sure. To put that in perspective, the Angels were bought for $185 million this year. That's a serious gap that I want to see closed.
