Yankee Bashing, Tim Brown on XM
Leading off Charley Steiner's show is Yankee payroll bashing with Tim
Brown, in harmony with the flurry of articles just released on last
year's top payroll. First, the point should be, $100 million will be
given away in charity from the Yankee organization and its fans to
other teams in revenue sharing. Isn't that a lot of money? About half
again its total payroll. Who'll get that? What will be done with this
fruit of others' labor? And this doesn't even include millions more in
luxury tax Yankees will pay as penalty for the payroll.
* Tim Brown says the same old thing, ie the Yankees said they were
going to try and get the payroll down, but we don't see it, etc.
Tim should be getting more assignments across ESPN/MLB platforms.
* Tim, what if the Yankees had spent many more millions getting
Santana? Would you say the Yankees are greedy and evil?
Since they haven't and may not be spending an egregious sum on Santana
(an additional 40% on top of which going to luxury tax) and want to
stay with the young players they've developed, isn't that an obvious
sign they want to lower the payroll? Wasn't their not signing Eric
Gagne another recent sign?
