The Yankees have spent a ton of money and are able to bring in a lot more players than other teams are but they also have done a great job of developing talent themselves. Probably better than 75% of teams out there.

The Yanks today
Shefield $
A-Rod $ (Soriano meant crap, the Yanks we're just the only team that could take the $$ on)
Mussina $
Giambi $
Matsui $
Abrea $ (traded for a ball of bags basically, Yankee's were the only team in the league that could ever take on that much)
Damon $
Cano, Posada, Jeter home grown.
Yes the Yankee's do actually develop young talent pretty well and it's made very easy by the fact if one doesen't pan out they'll just go buy someone else. If Oakland had the Yankee's payroll imagine who they could've kept? I don't blame old Georgey because he's doing it within the rules of MLB, but lord knows I hate him and can't wait to see that team lose.
