December 8, 200322 yr i think in 2-3 years they will be able to compete with the yanks under lou pinellia and there young team now with there unbelivable minior leauge talent they have. watch out for the d-rays.
December 8, 200322 yr If Delmon Young pans out then they r gonna hav one hell of a outfield with him Crawford, and Rocco Baldelli. But they need startin pitchers badly, Brazelton needs to pan out for em.
December 8, 200322 yr The problem will always be getting enough people into that dome to keep players playing there.
December 8, 200322 yr The problem will always be getting enough people into that dome to keep players playing there. That's it exactly. My family and I usually have an entire section to ourselves at games. And in truth, it's NOT the worst dome stadium -- I'd take it over the Baggie any day. Nobody in AL East is going to be able to compete with the Yankees and BoSox until they stop spending like there's no tomorrow, let alone the D-rays. Without a sizeable payroll, it ultimately won't matter what kind of talent they have in their farm system. They'll have to let it be raided by other teams when they put together any big trades in the unlikely event they do find themselves in contention. And they'll continue to lose players on the roster from the big club to FA and when they don't have enough to take players to arbitration.
December 8, 200322 yr Ya gotta give the Yankees and Redsox credit...they WANT to win, and are willing to do whatever it takes to do so. Not like our "beloved" Sox who are relying on miracles! D'oh!!!
December 8, 200322 yr If Delmon Young pans out then they r gonna hav one hell of a outfield with him Crawford, and Rocco Baldelli. But they need startin pitchers badly, Brazelton needs to pan out for em. right with you on that one....they have awesome young talent, just need pitching, and alot of it, of course, they didnt have a problem against our sox ...anybody know how there farm system is?
December 8, 200322 yr right with you on that one....they have awesome young talent, just need pitching, and alot of it, of course, they didnt have a problem against our sox ...anybody know how there farm system is? I'd say it is best better then ours, but that is too obvious.
December 8, 200322 yr By the time the kids are good enougn to even remotely compete, the Yanks and Red Sox will have a new batch of studs, and the DRays won't be able to keep their guys.
December 8, 200322 yr It should be interesting what the Yankess payroll is in 5 years. They really dont have to good of a farm system of what I understand, they just traded what I think was a fututre Yankee star in Johnson. Im sure they will just keep loading up on 30 year old FA, but it will be crazy to think what the payroll could get up to. In ten years, the Yankees' payroll will be $100,000,500,000,000... ...ours will be $50 (and I don't mean $50 million).

Im sure they will just keep loading up on 30 year old FA, but it will be crazy to think what the payroll could get up to. They'll just sign him when he becomes a free agent. So, you see, he still is a future Yankees star. George figures if he has to pay part of the Expos salaries, he might as well use them as a developmental team.
