Even if I had steinbrenners capital.........I would NEVER have given that chump that kind of money. So what if he hits 60 homeruns.........he's never been nor ever will be the kind of character that drives a team to a championship. He's just not worth "that" kind of money. You only give a shut down pitcher "remotely" that kind of cash.
Marlins owner is loaded to, that's the funniest thing, he's just a cheap bastard... He likes to tear down a team, then win a championchip, then break it down again... he didnt even give contracts to beckett,cabrera,d willis and many more.. fuck
if you can afford to pay all your players whatever sum of money is required to keep them on your team, why not do it? Did they have to let any valuable go to accomodate a-rod?
I think they lost out on the Santana sweepstakes because of Arods contract. If they had gotten rid of Arod and acquired Santana........that could have been the Yankee resurgence.
