No I am pointing out that the Red Sox dont spend that much more than many of the other contenders. Saying that everyone "buys" a championship is stupid and ignores good management. Sure the Red Sox can afford a mistake more than a mid market team but the team that won the title in 2004 or 07 was hardly a "bought" team any more than the White Sox were in 05 or the Cardinals in 06 or the Phis in 08 or the Giants last year. The Yankees in 2009? Considering they had 4 of the 6 highest players in history on that team...well you know.

Do you really want me to pull out the 2004 roster and how those guys were acquired or will you spare me this lesson in futility? How many homegrown players were on that 2004 squad? Lets not be silly chuckers.
