So what you are saying is that because they spent the money poorly (usually at the behest of George) that it isn't an advantage to have a enormous financial advantage? Or that the only reason that the homegrown talent was allowed to develop was because George was suspended? Or that they were able to keep that homegrown talent because there was no restriction to how much they could continue to pay them and no other big fish to snatch them away? Or that outside of Cano, Hughes and Gardner that there are virtually no other "homegrown" impact players on the current roster? That they will probably be signing Carl Crawford and Cliff Lee in the off season to $300 million dollars worth of deals?
The yankees are actually burdened by all the money they spend in Gales mind.
