So the Yankees should just pocket all the money they make and field a bunch of minor leaguers like the Marlins (before Marlins fans attack me I don't mean that the Marlins play like minor leaguers I am pointing out the fact that a ton of the Marlins were straight from the minor leagues this year)? Yeah, that would really turn their fans on. Yankee Stadium would be even more emptier then Dolphins Stadium when the Marlins play if they did that. I bet ratings would be through the roof on YES if they did that too. Plus the Yankees don't need to highest payroll to win, they need it to continue to make money and draw 4 million people to the Bronx to watch them play. You ever hear the expression "scared money don't make money." ? It means if your scared to throw your money down, you won't make any. If the Yankees don't spend their money and do things to attract fans, the fans won't come, just like with the Marlins. Do the Yankees over-spend, no doubt they probably do but every other team has the same luxary of doing so and it's their choice whether they do or not, end of story.
As far as the Yankees killing baseball, you couldn't be more wrong. It's franchises like the Marlins that are killing baseball because they don't spend the money neccesary to compete, don't attract fans, and then cry poor when things don't go right for them. And don't blame the Yankees for this, blame Bud Selig and the owners (including the Marlins owner) who refuse to implement a salary cap. The Yankees don't make the rules, they just play by them. You act like the Yankees created baseball or something. Your the most insecure dude I've ever seen in my life. :boohoo: :boohoo: :boohoo: Stop whining about the Yankees and go spend some of your minimum wage money on a Marlins ticket!
By the way, this was no shot at the Marlins fans or organization. Most of the Marlins fans on here I respect and I think they had a hell of a year with all things considered!
