My post today is going to be a lot different then past weeks, because I will criticizing a team that is my favorite but its only right. Recent trade talks have started already in the world or baseball. Their are so many prospects out their right now just looking to hop on the badnwagon of a potential world series team. Names like Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon, Matt Holiday, Victor Martinez, Carl Crawfor, Miguel Tejada,Ken Griffey Jr., Vlad Guerrero, Cliff Lee and Josh Beckett. All these names listes are great players with game chaning potential. However in this post I will be talking about the Yankees future picks and who they are interested in. Their has been a lot of talk about pitcher Roy Holliday from the Toronto Blue Jays coming to New York in the spring. Holliday was the pitcher they wanted to get since the beginning of last off-season, when they picked up Sabathia and Burnett, but couldn't afford him. Unfortunatley for Holliday the Yankees won the world series this year, so maybe this year will change his opinion.
One thing that really comes to mind when hearing things like this, is how can the Yankees do this? For one, they are signing another all-star, making it about 9 on their roster, and their payroll will be out of the roof. This makes me think, should the MLB put a cap on how much teams can spend. This also brings about many of comments and questions like, 'well if they have the money, spend it' or 'its not fair that just because we have money and others dont' either way its going to bring about negative and positive comments. Commisioner Bud Selig has recently announced his retire date which will be after the 2012 season. This could bring a change to baseball at this time, because the commisioner has the right to do whatever he wants. The only thing that does worry me if this was to happen is, 'Would the game change, our national pastime?' I mean baseball has been like this forever, should it be changed now? A well known quote can help on this one 'Dont fix what's not broken'...
