The novel idea of actually developing your own talent has worn off on the Yankees. They gave it a one-year try, and give them credit, they know what they can and cannot do. The only thing the Yankees know how to do (at the moment) is spend money. They haven't a clue about anything thing else. I keep hearing about all the money that's coming off the payroll this year. Here's a newsflash! Those players need to be replaced too, and Yanks aren't bargain basement shoppers. And it shows you what they really think of Phillip Hughes. He's now an afterthought. The guy they wouldn't part with, for Santana, is still not major league ready. And don't tell me he is , because he doesn't have a rotation spot on the 2009 Yankees. They should have traded him when he was worth something. He's worth nothing now. Why? Because the Yankees wouldn't know a legit prospect if they fell over one.
So they invest money in two guys. One. who in a ten year career has stayed healthy twice, and another guy who at 300 pounds, is a health timebomb! I suppose we'll have to hear Cashman and Steinbrenner whine again next year about injuries. It's a wonderful time to root against the Yankees. Red Sox don't need to do a thing, and they're still better than the Yankees. Fear not Yankee fans.......they'll just add more payroll again next year. It's all they know. Problem is........they haven't a clue on who to spend it on.
