Mondo, just because you started following baseball like a month ago, does not mean that you have any clue about anything.

Thayer, just because you've made mad mobnies at pokerz doesn't mean you know anything about me or my knowledge of baseball.

Exhbit A:

"If Kobe Bryant can be paid $25 million a year to whine about getting to play pro basketball, then Torre can easily be paid $7.5m a year to actually run a professional baseball team. "

You think one of the best players ever in the NBA is only about 3x as valuable as an MLB manager.

Exhibit B:

" The Yankees' farm system is pretty much a bare cupboard now (thanks to Cashman, not Torre),"

The Yankees have one of the best farm systems in baseball.

Exhibit C:

"The Yankees would be dumb to pay $12m a year to a closer when they're not going to be close enough to a playoff spot to need Rivera. They'd probably be better off spending the money restocking their farm system.

It's no accident that the Indians, Rockies, Tigers, etc., are a lot closer to a World Series these days than the Yankees, and it's no secret why."

This probably isn't even worth replying to, as all of your ignorance is self evident.

Exhibit D :

"Do tell us, then, just whom in the Yankees farm system is actually ready to step up and contribute, because it's pretty evidence that aside from Wang, none of their callups can get major league hitters out on a regular basis. (And Joba, if they let him be a starter, of course.)"

Besides the fact that your statement is just retarded(ZOMG WHO BESIDES WANG AND CANO AND MELKY AND JOBA ARE THERE??? LOL like any team wouldn't kill to have those players as their sole amount of developed players.)

Besides all of that, you are completely wrong. Hughes and Kennedy are both top top prospects, and will be ready to contribute next year. Since you don't think they've proven anything yet, and somehow that makes them not great farm developments, feel free to prop bet me large sums of money this year [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Exhibit E:

"That's easy -- look at who the Yankees brought up from the minors to start games this year. Aside from Ian Kennedy and Phillip Hughes, the rest appear to be middling, at best."

LOL @ "Besides 3 Super duper awesome prospects, all projected to be front line Starters, they have no other good MLB ready starting pitching!!!"

If you take away all of my 80k+ Poker cashes I have
alot less money, BRILLIANT!



Too lazy to find more, hope you are satisfied.
