Then under what other definition would you characterize the hand that the financial advantage played in both the 2004 and 2009 Championship? I'm all eyes.

You know you're overvaluing him. The role he has know is perfect, as a starter for a prolonged period, you know he'd be exposed. Even hiding him in the 9 spot. Besides, there's no need to have this discussion if the Yanks get a solid option. And about the Defense, Ellsbury had a down year, but how you can say with a straight face that Gardner "Plays better D" is beyond me.

Premise: 2004 Championship was bought. 2009 Championship was bought. 2000 Championship was not bought. 2007 Championship was not bought. Your POV on the subject, Y228?

By your logic, every championship this decade has been bought.

That's just a ******** argument. He's using Manny Ramirez in his 2007 argument. Now THAT'S a resource that ran dry. Let's mention Damon, Matsui and A-Rod as key signings for the 2009 Yanks championship amirite?

You don't say? When you can prove to me that the Sox tripled the spending of the next FA spender i'll give you 2007. Which is not going to happen because it was a year in which FA contracts were booming, and the production of the 3 "Big" Fa signings by of the Sox is not even close to that Yanks' big 3. The Sox signed what ended up being 3 role players to their WS run. The Yanks signed 3 key players. DEAL WITH IT!

I blame the system, and i complain with legitimate evidence that occurences like this must be somehow stopped.

Please take your best shot. Now they're "opinions". I'm telling you, your big mouth is writing a check your ass can't check.

See, here's my problem with saying the 2007 title was bought. You'll notice i haven't touched the 2004 team. Why? Because the argument can easily be made that the team was a mercenary group with a common goal. That is absolutely true. My problem with 2007 however, is that the Sox got Drew, Matsuzaka and Lugo. Matsuzaka was an investment to open the doors to the Japan market, but couldn't be considered a "Top FA" because he hadn't even played in MLB. Drew was a good FA, but not one of the top FA's. Lugo was a middle-tier SS who got massively overpaid for reasons beyond my comprehension. Compare that team with those acquisitions to the 2004 Sox or 2009 Yankees please.
