so i read that all the yankees players are calling the unit to recruit him. if you were to call him what would you say....I would tell him "Randy, would you rather goto a team that is thorn in the side of the MLB where winning is based on how much money you spend rather then the heart you put in it or would you rather join a team where you would captivate a whole city, rejuvinate a side of town to utmost proportions, and break a streak of championshiplessness thats has stood for 87 years (not 88)....."

Good grief.. so George spends $$.. he has it.. why not? At least he is spending it on the players and not hording it away under the bed or something. The Yankees as a company are rich.. thus they spend like they are. What's the problem..?

It's interesting to note that the Yankees teams that were built from their farm system were the ones that won. The teams that have since been built by free agency and ridiculous trades that are basically all-star teams, just don't have the same heart that those farm teams had.

It's hysterical.

That is true... he could be Bill Wirtz like...more money than God and refuses to spend any of it.

yea 200 mil payroll, who cares about money..... i just feel that its better to earn a championship then buy it....if they get RJ thier payroll is like at least 100 mil over the league average

If they are calling, it's just to "talk baseball" -- Just like Kobe Bryant said last night on sportscenter, he only called coach K to "talk basketball", not recruit him for the Lakers head coaching job. -- rolleyeyes.gif

Notihng at all really, it'll still be a sad day when RJ's traded there.

 

Then again, will RJ going to NY hurt attendance at the Cell? Most probably, is this really a problem? not if you're the Yankees.

Not everyone has the kind of market they do available to them, but that's a whole other story

We certiantly do. But you're right.. that's another story.

I say market available and not "money available" because Steinbrenner utilizes the market very well and does spend money, 2 things you can't punish him for. And because a big market doesn't guarantee a large revenue stream.

I would say, "Randy, if you want to be with a bunch of money hungry assholes go to the Yankees. If you want to be apreciated by the entire organization and fan base, come to the White Sox."

 

I wouldn't let him reply though. I'd hang up and let him think about it.

It's not the Yankees problem, it's MLB's problem.

Which is sick.

Don't quote me on this, but if I had to make a guess, I would say they are already above $100 mill above the average. Their payroll is $186 mill. That's $156 mill over the lowest, which is the Brewers.

 

Someone who is not as lazy as me can figure it out.

Colangelo still has the power to stop this by refusing to send johnson to the Yankees.

 

and the David Wells contract fiasco 2 years ago should be all the motivation he needs.

Colangelo may trade Unit to the Yanks because He wants to go there.
