almost five times? try about 7 times.

Is there actually a team under a $30 million payroll? Wow, that truly is amazing.

Pittsburgh was shooting for $35 - $40 million this year, so it's not us.

what do u think i was just saying?

i dont appreciate being damn idiot either. our team has the money and we spend it. u honestly expect steinbrenner to be a nice guy and not spend? im not saying i agree but what the hell do u expect?

that mid-90's team wasn't made with money.. so whats wrong with expecting that?? .... i think alot of us are caught up in the excitement of George's spending spree, but i agree with Erboes - it might lead to a salary cap.....theres no need for Maddux unless he becomes a lefty.. its overkill

It was only a couple years ago that he refused to spend much more than the second highest team, then they new agreement passed and he went nustso. I think he decided to take the "I'll show you what spending is" tact. And, boy, did he ever. It's scary to think he' can probably spend double what he is now and still make a profit.

WABC-TV is reporting that free agent Greg Maddux will sign with the Yankees.

THat is off of Rotoworld....looks like its gonna happen, although I dont think the AL will be kind to Maddux....and I doubt he will get the corners like he did in the NL....Non-Impact move if you ask me...Although it is irritating as hell.

Im not a Sox or Yankee fan, but I think that these moves have forced the Sox to make another move before the deadline...Beltran?

again....bash mlb not the yankees

by **tool069c** » Tue Feb 17, 2004 1:51 am

Well, bashing MLB is what it will be, because MLB owns the expos, so selig would have to approve the deal, and I dont know if he will let the GM up there deal vidro...at least not before the all-star break. But maybe there is another 2B out there on the wish list. Maybe Hairston or roberts from Bal...?
