I used to listen to this (particularly the 20 minute track with him and his brother trying to sleep) when I was a kid and got it for my kids on CD. They laugh their heads off.

For instance, the highest paid player in 1995 Cecil Fielder - $9,237,500 2000 Kevin Brown - $15,714,286 2005 Alex Rodriguez - $26,000,000 The Yankees have been competitive since 1993, and they've managed to retain their core players, as well as assuming top contracts from other teams (Fielder, Cone, Mondesi, Abreu/Lidle, Brown, Rodriguez, etc). All that costs. [10] They’re spending far more money due to the salary structure being being thrown out of whack. For instance, the highest paid player in

1995
Cecil Fielder – $9,237,500

2000
Kevin Brown – $15,714,286

2005
Alex Rodriguez – $26,000,000

The Yankees have been competitive since 1993, and they’ve managed to retain their core players, as well as assuming top contracts from other teams (Fielder, Cone, Mondesi, Abreu/Lidle, Brown, Rodriguez, etc). All that costs.

What was said? He always appears to be into every game as far as I can tell. Perhaps he doesn't prepare well? Enlighten me, please. [7] I must have missed the Cervelli bad attitude comments.

Montero should be playing with the Yanks sometime in 2011, either breaking camp with them or getting the call sometime during the season. Personally, I think the Yanks go with 3 catchers this year; Martin, Posada and Montero (who'll be the understudy). [6] The Yanks are doing the same thing they've always been doing, mixing development with players acquired by trade and free agency. Those players concerned with NYC quality of life can live in NJ, CT, Westchester or Long Island. [4] I doubt it.

When they announced Montero was going to get his shot, they also let it slip that they were extremely disappointed with Cervelii's attitude and professional commitment. We shall see.

Can we just go back to development and picking up solid, if not spectacular guys now, please? Maybe we can rehire Bob Watson then and let Cash be El Presidente?? I would think that it's time to put the Money Whip away since players are whipping the Yanks back with Quality of Life considerations (and having been in NYC for quite some time, it's worthy of serious consideration...)

Who'd a thunk Jesus would not only die for our sins, but would also be traded for a pitcher. [4] I suspect they try and trade Jesus for a pitcher.
