    For fred and all of his speculation:

    Like Granderson amirite? That story was obviously planted.

    Palodios, common sense is not a common trait around here.

    Pedroia was around career norms? News to me.
  5. User Name
    Pedroia, WMB and the month missed by Ortiz and Victorino don't count? Oh right, that's because it doesn't suit your narrative.....

    Jacko, a lot of what you post is true, but a lot of it is lathered in Yankee ballwashing subjective nonsense. If you want to call out others on their lack of objectivity regarding the Yankees, i suggest toning down some of the yearly doomsday predictions. Also, DD smacked you pretty hard with some good logic there, so don't try weaseling out with those weak cop-outs.

    There's a pretty legitimate chance you're not going to be able to make good on that threat, and considering your personal track record as of late, i'd suggest holding on to the victory dance pom-poms just a bit longer.

    Oh no, not even close, but that doesn't mean they're not one of the spending heavyweights of the MLB.

    I did. You read it again, specifically the part where it says it's a speculative scenario at the end of part one. The point i was trying to convey was contained in the actual hard number for tv revenue (which is correct) presented there.
  13. User Name
    They'll probably report it right before the 2014 season starts, but it should be a pretty big number. (150+ millions)

    What's complex here is your lack of reading comprehension. The only point i've been trying to make here is that the Yankees aren't making as much TV money as people here (mainly SoxSport and Jacko) have been trying to portray. Again, how much revenue the network makes matters very little. What matters is the slice of the pie the Yankees get. That's what looks like rocket science to you, but is actually pretty simple. The rest of it is you trying to debate a point i've never made, which is not unusual. I know that they're a money making machine, just like the Red Sox and Dodgers. But the point is that they don't make that much money of their TV network. They make most of their money from the gate, just like every other team.

    No it doesn't. Not for MLB teams.

    SoxSport with his usual display of sense and logic, forgets that Sizemore is a LHH.

    Yet again, you don't understand how the TV "money" works. They make money by "selling" their rights to the network, and receive a lump sum on a yearly basis. That lump sum increases exponentially on a year-to-year basis, which is why they're not inclined to renegotiate that contract. How much the YES network is actually worth has little bearing on how much money actually goes into their pocket. The true current cash cow which people know very little about are the parking structures. And again, for the umpteenth time, most of the money is actually made through ticket sales.

    In 2011, they received 65 mill from YES Network, not 135. As for the rest of your post, when did i say otherwise? My whole point is that some of you don't understand: A) How tv revenue actually works, B ) Where the Yankees get their money from and that although their limit is sky high, they do have a limit. That article sums that up pretty well. Even the Red Sox could sustain a 200 million payroll for a limited time should they desire to do it. Actually, the 65 mill is from 2010, but they didn't receive 130+ in 2011.

    A lot of their current money also comes from the parking structures negotiated during the NYS construction. It was initially a bust, but has become a gigantic cash cow for the Yankees. Read up on it. You'll be surprised.

    http://itsaboutthemoney.net/archives/2010/11/29/money-to-burn-more-on-the-yankees%E2%80%99-budget/ This article is a bit old, but details the reality of the Yankees financial situation, and sheds light on how hilariously misinformed some members (i am looking at Jacko and SoxSport) are regarding the actual way the Yanks' revenue stream works. Most of the money come from ticket sales, not the other way around. I get there's a lot of "guessing" done in the article, but the overall money distribution and overall TV money is in line with what other publications (including Forbes) estimate as the TV revenue.

    The problem is that we don't know if Gutierrez took less money to stay in familiar surroundings (it happens) had something wrong with his physicals that turned off other teams, or the Sox just wanted to gamble on a high-upside player whose physical they liked. Gutierrez, to me, made more sense, but we don't know what actually happens during the negotiation/signing process.
  22. User Name
    And by the way, in the very same website you linked to, they have a 427 million figure as the Yankees' total revenue, so how does your 400 + 300 figure add up? Seriously, at least read through it before you post the link.
  23. User Name
    What makes you think they didn't go after Gutierrez and he chose the Mariners instead? You're basing your argument on speculation. I understand the rest of your point, and given the interest displayed in Sizemore by other teams (specially the Reds) there has to be a reason why they were willing to stick their necks out for him.
  24. User Name
    Yeah yeah we've all read the typical Yankee farm system homerism you spew on a daily basis. Talent without performance means nothing, and right now, that's exactly what the Yankees are getting from their system.
  25. User Name
    Jacko, the revenue presented from the YES network is not perceived by the Yankees franchise alone. That number is a lump sum that does not represent the actual value the Yankees receive, which is a fixed sum that escalates on a yearly basis. Check your sources before posting.
