Royals? Twins? A's? Brewers?

Good call on the Brewers. I was trying to name teams that are generally relevant (Braves are borderline).

[QUOTE=smmokan;1428561][QUOTE=Sirshredalot;1428314]Sure, the dugout is full of homegrown "talent," but the guys who are out on the field are still getting paid $20 million each.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Melky Cabrera, Cano, Chamberlain, Hughes, and Kennedy all make (just about) the major league minimum. Add those 5 guys to Pettite, Rivera, Jeter, and Posada, and I challenge you to find 5 other teams with the same amount of CONTRIBUTING home grown talent.

Jesus Christ, you should really put down the crack pipe before you post such drivel. Please, go learn something about rosters other than the Yankees before you post anything ever again. Your idiotic spewing lowers the intelligence of everyone on this forum.

[smmokan]

^^^ Please explain yourself, and please show me 5 other teams who have that many SOLID players on their team that were home-grown.

Red Sox? Let's see... Papelbon, Lester, Buchholz, Ellsbury (not good yet).... is that it?

[smmokan]

Just dont disguise it and bullshit yourself into thinking the Yankees are somehow a minor league roster of "suprise" or "under the radar" players.

I never said that... I just said that the Yankees have a lot of home-grown talent. Sure, you can spin it however you want about them keeping the big names by paying them more, but in most cases they gave them those big contracts early on in their career, and made sure they stayed in house.

Seriously, are you that dumb?

Lets recap.

Phillies
Braves
Angels
Rockies
Cleveland

[Sirshredalot]

Milwaukee
Florida
Minnesota
Oakland
Texas

[smmokan]

OK, so maybe I'm wrong.... but Minnesota, Oakland, and Texas is pushing it for right now. Texas barely has 5 good players on their team, period.

I guess I was aiming more for showing how the Red Sox DON'T use their home-grown talent. So sue me.

the Yankees are out for blood this weekend

You fucking retard, ellsbury doesn't count for the sox but kennedy and chanmberlain do for the yankees?

Sox:

Pedroia

Yeah, if he's throwing in Chamberlain and Kennedy you might as well include Hansack.....Oh, and don't forget about Youks

[irul&ublo]

Play Ball!!! Game started...beat those cunts.

[MassLiberal]

ellsbury, yeah, he hasn't proven himself at all

[Brock Landers]

Didnt the sox draft schilling? He counts! There are at least 15 teams with more "home grown " players than the yankees. Except those teams dont have an 80 million dollar infield. Or a 60 million dollar outfield. And they arent still paying Javier Vazquez's contract. Or Randy Johnson's contract.

Ellsbury and Buchholz count for just as much as Chamberlain or Kennedy.

as i said, the yankees are out for blood

[smmokan]

Ouch. That bullpen isn't going to win you many games in the playoffs.... they look tired.

IT IS ON CHOWDS, IT IS SO FUCKING ON!!!!!

THE YANKEES WIN, THE-E-E-E-E THE FUCKING YANKEES WIN!!!!!!! HEY CHOWDS....HOW BOUT USING SOME OF JETER'S NEW COLOGNE TO WASH THE SAND OUT......

[stump832]

Ouch. That bullpen isn't going to win you many games in the playoffs.... they look tired.

Or overmanaged. Either way, that was shitty.

[smmokan]

^^^ Just about every bullpen in baseball is overmanaged these days. That's pretty much a given.

[Brock Landers]

Only one game. Sox bullpen looked pretty good on Wednesday night. These things happen- dont chalk one game up to a bullpen being tired or whatever. Things happen, especially against such a potent lineup. Looking forward to 8 strong from Beckett today.

All I know for sure is 16

[tuffy109]

Only one game.

imagine it had happened the other way around? you would've been going insane.
