I reccommend this book for you (esp since you're running a literature draft)

Bill Simmons is my favorite sports writer. As soon as I read that comment on page 1 I knew exactly what article it was from.

Also - $140MM over 6 years for any pitcher, let alone Sabathia, is ridiculous.

There is no recession for the New York Yankees. Flexing the economic muscle of their new billion-dollar ballpark and ignoring industrywide nervousness over big-money deals, the Yankees landed the top free-agent pitcher when they agreed Wednesday to the framework of a US$161-million, seven-year contract with CC Sabathia.

Scary. 13 per for a guy who has had *1* good season in the last 7 years.

Lest we forget this was a guy the cubs demoted from their closer role last season too.

I know Dempster has always had potential, but he was never the same after his injury in FLA. But I guess 13 is just a drop in the bucket for a market like Chicago.

Yankees were in a similiar position during the Great Depression. As other teams struggled to survive. They went ahead with business as usual.

Yankees are apparently chasing Burnett AND Lowe.
