It is Net of stadium revenues used for debt payments, which is around 427 M, plain and simple. You have to add the other two-engine money-making machines (YES Revenue 136 M(34%) & LHM 25M) It is 588 M in 2011 and without considering the fee that FOX paid last year for the YES stake to the NYY which is around 450 M. They have plenty of money to set a 200 + M team, easily.

Until baseball is not a profitable business anymore. Baseball players' salaries are insane even for those who are in the bottom. The floor is 500 K, isn't it?… Hell, Tons of CEOs of great companies doesn't even make the half of that salary.
-
This was my concerned when we signed Napoli. Hopefully as you said it turns into steal for us.
-
Unlimited? no, but plenty of it to keep spending.
-
While Drew would be a good addition, I want to see WM and XB playing everyday for once and for all. Also, while I want to be in POs again, I am more interested in watch what JBJ, XB, WM and probably Vasquez if called can bring to the table. If our former players perform close as expected, the future is set.
-
Some here and there still believe that they are not a legit division contenders, hopefully they are right. IMO they are way far better than last year, even with Cano gone. Beltran, McCann, Ells, Tex, etc. combined easily can cover his ass. As you said, their key is CC. This is going to be very fun to watch.
-
LOOOOL. Wouldn't be surprised if they signed Garza or Santana. They are in I-want-to-win-it-all mode right now.
-
I wouldn't be surprised either.
-
Everybody is talking about Ellsbury and Tanaka who are obviously key pieces. IMO The real deal for them is MCaan. This guy not only going contribute offensively but will give them a lot "intangible" value behind the plate.
-
IMO he is supposed to be an immediate stopper. He is not a prospect, he is supposed to be a solution, right now. I understand that NYY have money but you are paying him 20 +/year for God's sake; you are paying him to perform right now, mostly considering the fiasco of last year. If this kid starts slow in his first year, a lot of question marks and pressure are going to be on him for the years coming.
-
Really? I don't think the owners are with you on this.
-
LOL, He is not your number 4. He is supposed to be your No 1 or at very least your number 2. If he turns into your No. 4, oh boy…
-
As I said, If this kid is for real, CC bounces back and most of their roster stay healthy, the NYY will be a legit contender on paper. It's going to be very competitive the ALE.
-
yeah, this guy has serious problems LOL!
-
sorry rj, I do not want to be disrespectful, but I won't go in circles on this topic all over again. I already rest my case so many times, specially with this Psycho U?. Maybe we have to agree to disagree, but I respect your point of view though.
-
LOL hahahaha thanks Fred. I'm ok, at least I'm practicing my writting english LOL! He said that he was ignoring me, not sure what happened. Maybe This Psycho should take your advise.
-
then, do what Fred is suggesting.
-
then ignore it or take a pill.

Philly paid Papelbon since his track record. Since he showed durability and consistency. Very few CLOSERS (no any relievers) has those concepts under their belts, and mostly closing in arguably one of the toughest divisions in baseball during long time. If you find me this profile in your relievers, yes! I will pay them that money for closing 9 of every 10 games since it would mean an automatic shut down game. Just for the record… Mo has a 89% SV% career number under his belt. Pap? 88% thus far.
-
Hanging from his nuts? LOL! What in the hell are you talking about? You are the only one who whines about Pap every single time in every thread; like today, you brought this up (as always); a thread that is not about him. Typical you, starting shitstorms from nowhere. It's sick.
-
If he posts SV% around 90%, call it deal. We'll see how this ends up.
-
if he posts his avg numbers the rest of his contract with philly, I will call it deal. He'll be ok IMO. Nobody is going to post what Mo's done. That is not what is behind of the Mo's highway concept, which I patented and some are misunderstanding LOL! Anyway, he is gone and some are still obsessed with him. U? is one of them.
-
I think nobody is taking out his credit (whatever it is) or wishing him bad.
-
Hopefully he can stay durable and consistent as Papelbon was. Would be awesome.
