Do you think before you type?
1) Its called roster fillers with players that be in the majors if they weren't in the Yanks organization.
2) Its called creating a foundation before you pay for the supporting cast.
Prospect coming Phillip Hughes.
Current and Former Yankee players who played in the Yankee organization before being called up in the Majors

Posada
Melky Cabrera
Bernie Williams
Andy Phillips - big whoop
Wang

Pettitte

Nick Johnson
Should I go on?
Its more like they have the money to keep their foundation of Jeter, Posada, Cabrera, Cano, and Wang.
I also remember the Dbacks offered Bernie Williams tons more money to play for them in '98 and he stay with the Yanks.
