brianicoleman Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 i missed if sheffield was acquired from free agency or if the braves got anything for him? :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119906-sheffield-a-yankee/#findComment-1424414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatnipOligarchy Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 i missed if sheffield was acquired from free agency or if the braves got anything for him? :blink: no he was a free agent...the yankees/red sox rivalry is exciting and all, but im getting tired of them doing all the offseason work.. the other 28 teams need to get off their ass and make some moves. the braves are gonna be a .500 next year if they dont get to work soon Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119906-sheffield-a-yankee/#findComment-1424559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Yankees always buy the top guys, kinda crappy to the low market teams which can't afford them, maybe another reason why I don't watch baseball :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119906-sheffield-a-yankee/#findComment-1424571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remote Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Once again they will try to solve their problems whith not being able to buy championship by thinking if we spend just a few more million, we will get it right now. Whos gonna beat them in the WS this year? Tigers? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119906-sheffield-a-yankee/#findComment-1424577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxikk Veteran Posted December 1, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2003 just wait till all of the current yankees retire. just like the raiders after this season. they will be done!

cjbeckwith Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Another reason why MLB needs a salary cap...to make things more interesting. Hell, anyone could manage a team and get to the playoffs every year if you spend 100 million on players. I guess it is obvious that they are still missing something though if they spend all that money and lost to the Marlins.

stncttr908 Veteran Posted December 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 2, 2003 The only way I'm accepting this is because it offers me the chance to see the Yanks lose another World Series to a team with 1/3rd their payroll. :D Whos gonna beat them in the WS this year? Tigers? If only it were possible for an AL team to beat another AL team in the World Series. I get your point though. :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119906-sheffield-a-yankee/#findComment-1426975 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statik1 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I hate how every one complains about the Yanks allways buying there way to the World Series, I hate the Yanks personaly but i dont hate on them for the fact that they have the money and that they have done the right thing in the last decade by assembling a winning product and putting something on the field that people want to watch and when people watch that creates more fans more fans equals more money in the long run for the Yanks so i dont like the fact that they go almost every year but they all ways make the smart move and b/c of it they have fans and big time tv contracts that makes them a nice chunk of money so you cant hate on some one for makeing money and spending it to make a product aka team better!

Great. Let's have the Yanks make more money. At the same time, let's have the other teams in league lack the ability to pay even one superstar (such as Milwaukee having to give up Sexson recently) and consequently not be able to field a contending team. This, in turn, results in empty stadiums, further enhancing this problem. This is why I'm for sharing of revenues across the MLB, so teams such as the Royals, Twins, and Brewers can have a fighting chance. But hey, what's good for the Yankees must be good for everyone right? :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/119906-sheffield-a-yankee/#findComment-1427148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
