Ask Peter Angelos. You can spend your team right in the tank.
Surely the yankees get some credit for selecting the right free agents lately. No?

If you want to give them credit for throwing money at Sabathia and Texieria and Arod.
but this is a team that drastically overpaid for Burnett and can just absorb it. They are paying Kei Igawa 4 million this year to not play. They ate 1 million to test drive randy winn for a few weeks.
Arod makes 27 million this year
Sabathia makes 23 million this year
Jeter makes 19 million this year
Teixeria makes 20 million this year
those 4 make 17 million more than the rays entire roster
Burnett 16.5
Mariano 15
posada 13 million
Andy P 11.75
Vasquez 11 million
cano 9 million
Swisher 6.75
granderson 5.5
johnson 5.75
