They tie up too much money in aging veterans. Posada is 39, A-Rod is 35, Jeter is 36, Tiexiera is 30. There is a tonne of money right there. Rivera makes more money at the age of 40 than the entire Rangers pitching staff (according to TBS on Friday night). CC is the highest paid pitcher. AJ Burnett, who is a complete flop in the Bronx, is the 4th highest paid pitcher and 20th highest paid player in the Majors.

When you have an unlimited bank account, you tend to spend carlessly. Thats one thing I would like to see the Yankees improve. Spending their money more wisely and getting a better return on their investment. It will be interesting to see how they treat Derek Jeter this off season.
