    - It is probably closer to the same model now, but it wasn't for a long long time. - TFox May 18, 10:28
    - The Yanks didn't trade for the best pitcher alive and thus needed to sign CC & AJ this year. - Will Hunting May 18, 10:28 3

        You can't argue you support their GM when he messed up. C'mon. They trust a guy who failed. - Will Hunting May 18, 10:31 1

        When the Yankees develop MVP caliber talent you'll sound like you know what you're talking about. - Mel Profit May 18, 10:36 3
