For reasons unclear to me, many mainstream baseball writers refer to the 1950s as the “golden Age” of baseball, that is, when the New York Yankees won the WS or agt least were IN the WS every year.The only thing that is “gold” that I can see is the “gold” that went into the pockets of the men who owned the team.It's no wonder that replica Longines L2.155.4.53.5 Ladie's watch attendence fell precipitously in the AL.Why watch when the outcome is pre-determined?In spite of luxury tax and revenue sharing, the Yankees are re-creating the 50s.
With income streams from their own network and fancy new taxpayer funded stadium, they purchase the best players and use the rest of the teams to trade for great players who are paid more than they want to pay.So teams are easily and happily trading their good and sometimes CHEAP players (see Curtis Granderson) to the Yankees to avoid replica Longines L2.642.4.73.6 Men's watch paying their salary, and in return for very little.The Yankees just acquired Javier Vazquez from the Braves for Melky Cabrera, an average hitting and fielding centerfielder and 2 prospects who are most CERTAINLY not ready for prime time.
They are picking up Vazquez' 11.5 mill contract for Melky's (approximately 3-4 mill one, perhaps paying that too, who knows) and giving up essentially nothing except a pitcher who throws hard but not accurately and some guy serveral years away from the majors.I have always been opposed to salary caps, because I see it as a prime way for replica Longines L2.155.0.71.7 Ladie's watch owners to cheat players out of money while increasing their own profits, but the Yankees easily affording to pay each one of their players an average salary of 9 million, as opposed to the next highest team's average of 6 million, has gotten to the point in which there is essentially no reason for any other team to even bother to spend money.
