The Phillies won the World Series in 2008 with not that big of a payroll if I remember correctly.

You could say that the late 90's Yankees were a much better team then the current squad, and they weren't filled this mega-buck guys.
Lee is a good pitcher, and he would have helped the Yanks line up. I dont think that bringing him in for 7 years was a great idea, and throwing millions of dollars away. Lee dominated the Yankees, but he was torn apart by SF, a team with poor bats. SF also dominated Doc. Now, considering that SF has retained all the big names, and are looking to bring in some bats, its very possible that they could see Philly again in the playoffs. Before you get to see the Yankees in the post season, you will probably have to see SF. |

Another great rotation. I bet a lot of Philly fans are thinking about this accomplishment, and with good reason. But...

No. Team Payroll AverageI applaud the Phils for putting the $$ people spend on their team back into the team. But I think the payroll conversation is getting old. |
Its football season, baseball is lame even when in season.

Doesn't help that the Yanks were playing like 12 year olds for the last month of the season. Totally different team then a year ago at that point. |

it won't happen, Grienke has a no trade clause, so he has to agree to where the royals want to trade him, now he has agreed to be traded however, he doesn't want to go to: New York, Boston, Philly, or pretty much anytime with a big stage, if you disagree with me call Francesca this afternoon and get screamed at lol....it will be funny....he has had serious mental issues in the past.....Grienke will not go to new york, and KC's price for him is very, very high |
I don't think at all it would happen but grienke said hed waive the no trade to ny
|
CC also said no way to NYY.

There have been a number of players say no to NY and Philly. Not real big news. good for CL for going where he wanted to go. as he said it had nothing to do with ny or not wanting to be there, it had everything to do with his past experience with charlie manual & philly. |
All this payroll talk reminds me of Red Sox fans. Bitter bastards.

I can't wait until April, I just hope the Phillies bats don't continue their slump from last year or it's going to be an epic fail this year with the pitching staff we have. Anything less than a ring is complete failure. |

...and I'll happily agree with that. As much as I hate the Yankees and their scumbag fans they do what it takes to win. The main reason I'm laughing about this Lee deal is because the Yankees and their fans have this arrogance to them that they can just buy whoever they want...that they can just throw money at a player and since it's NY said player will just automatically go there. This time it blew up in their faces....other than that this type of stuff happens all of the time. Players sign with different teams for less money every year.

LOL no arrogant or scumbag philly fans :lol:
