Somehow they have heart this year! Tex is the man.
Every team in baseball has the same opportunity to buy players. Only difference is that the Yanks seem to be the ones to consistently step up and do it - all in the name of winning which is OK with me. Often this approach has not worked in their favor and we end up stuck with un-tradeable has beens.
I'm good with the fact that the Yanks are willing to do what it takes to put the best possible players on the field. Some franchises are ok with mediocrity I guess. If your front office is not willing to put in the effort, how do you expect the whole team to do the same?
Plus, some of their better players are home grown - Jeter, Rivera and Posada. There's also Melky, Cano and Phil Hughes. Yanks are good at judging talent, whether they pay for it or draft the player from the start.
