Yankees Shell Out Again

Well baseball has officially hit rock bottom. The Yankees just paid $180 million dollars for Mark Texiera. I am getting sick and tired of the Yankees throwing all this money at guys when the suddenly are struggling to compete. How about doing what just about every other team does and develop your farm system? The money the spent on this off season would probably buy a small country. I am not jealous over this, as I think hes not worth the money or number of years, just agrivated at how badly baseball economics has gotten. Rant over. Go Red Sox
