    What the f*** is a Starbrenner?

    Choo has stolen more than 20 bases four times in his career, and has only grounded into more than 10 DP's twice. He also has decent BSR value from Fangraphs' valuation. Where do you come up with this stuff Fred? Choo is an excellent baserunner.

    Plz happen.

    Yet another instance of the fabled Quintuple post. Fred 3 (2 quintuples, one sixtuple)- Internet 0.

    Hasn't Lucchino gone on record several times as saying he learned "not to fall in love with veterans", and that he was on board with the "youth movement"? I mean, i don't like LL any more than you do Fred, but let's keep the conspiracy theories to a minimum.

    I like WMB and don't want them to trade him. I just think that they will.
  8. User Name
    I think if Drew comes back, WMB goes, but that's just my gut.

    It is, or at least that's what the explanation from other sources say.
  10. User Name
    Per MLBTR.

    The other question is are they making that amount yearly, or over the course of the deal?

    *slowly raises hand*

    Read the post above. They make a hell of a lot less actually.

    No it isn't. As i posted above, you are clearly incorrect with the whole cable money crap you keep spouting over and over and over again. Forbes has it right, teams make most of their money from tickets and concessions. Even the Dodgers.

    This website: http://www.forbes.com/teams/new-york-yankees/ explains part of the reason for misconceptions like yours regarding how much money teams make off their tv deals. I quote: So in short, out of the 224 million YES generated in 2011, the Yankees only received a grand total of 90 million dollars, meaning your idea of just how much revenue the Yankees receive from YES network is a gross misconception, and jives a lot more with Forbe's 471 million dollars in revenue for the NYY.

    200 M pesos probably. Also, i'm doing some digging around of my own.
  17. User Name
    A bit less actually. I read a write-up on team TV contracts a while back, and that's the estimate they had for the Yankees' YES Network.

    I highly doubt Dempster pitches out of the BP next year.

    The tv revenue is included in the 471 million figure. The average profit margin for MLB teams is usually closer to 30% than the 18-20% you present, since FO salary figures are not included in the general expenditure calculation. You are both overvaluing the tv profit and undervaluing the profit margin. Also, Forbes' numbers are acquired from MLB and the teams themselves, and the figures are verified against each other. They are so accurate because they come straight from the horse's mouth.

    Bailey was non-tendered and Hanrahan is a FA, so you're getting your wish.

    Only the team that negotiates with the player pays the bid, and if they are unable to reach an agreement with the player, the player returns to his team, and the money is returned to the bidder.

    Actually, it is. And no, it isn't. You can ask a700 whether or not TV revenues are higher than gate receipts for MLB teams, and he will promptly tell you that no, they aren't, even for the Yankees and Dodgers. Their total revenue for 2012 is the 471 million presented by the Forbes website (Net stadium revenue includes all of the revenue that is directly generated by the Yankees' on-field product, including concessions and TV money). Besides their 236 million dollar payroll obligation, they also had expenditures in the form of NYS payments, and the lux-tax hit which i read somewhere averages out to around 20 million dollars. That's nearly 300 million dollars in expenditures. Do you really think they would further increase spending and cut into their (relatively low) profit margin? I highly highly doubt it.
  23. User Name
    Yeah you can find TV revenue as well if you dig into their income chart for past years, unless it's been removed, which i doubt.
  24. User Name
    They're private, but their $$$ numbers have been made available through the Forbes website for years now. http://www.forbes.com/teams/new-york-yankees/ If you dig around this website for a bit, you'll find whatever money-related numbers you're looking for.

    You are missing the point. The point isn't whether or not the up-the-middle players are rookies or veterans, but rather the crapshoot nature of the playoffs. How many teams have repeated this millenium?
