i dont think that pedro will go to the yankees this offseason either. a couple years ago, i dont think i would have had the same thoughts about this, but now i just dont see him going there, even if georgie throws a boatload of money at him.
the problem with the yanks is that they dont have any young talent anymore. their farm system is completely dried up, save for the overhyped/underperforming NY media driven prospects. this means that they will have to continually build their team on the free agent market, and that hasnt worked out too well. their great teams from 96-2000 got significantly more production from farm raised players, whereas now they get very little from them, and they have to rely on the kevin browns and arods of the world.
