Thats what they did last year and they won the championship and if you look at the major parts of the team a majority of them came up through the yankees farm system(Derek Jeter,Mariano Rivera,Jorge Posada,Andy Pettite,Robinson Cano,Joba Chamberlain,Brett Gardner,Phil Hughes,Francisco Cervelli)which shows you that the Yankees don't just go throwing money around at people, but they also use their great minor leagues to get some of the best players in the game.
Hmmm.....wait a minute my franchise does have 40k people attending a game. That is funny and they are not hated like the Gay Yankees. I am a twins fan they are old fashioned they build teams through the minor leagues not the market. Basically the Yankees have 3 players that they pay a year thats salary is higher then that of other teams whole team. You are a fool if you like the Yankees. They didn't win those championships they bought them.
