I know a Sox fan is not complaining about money. You guys have a pretty high payroll too. Difference is that Soriano, Jeter, Pettite, Williams, and Posada were all developed in the Yankee farm system. Sure we have to pay to keep them, but it is not like the Yanks don't have any development. Look at who they have traded out of their system...Lowell and Milton to name two. The Sox spend money just like the Yankees, they just spend it in the wrong places. I guess letting Clemens go was a good move, huh?

First Soriano was bought as a minor league FA after spending a season or 2 in Japan. Other teams (A's) supposedly would not even go the workouts because "if he is any good, we can't outbid the Yankees, if the Yankess don't bid, then he is no good".
$185 million payroll this year (ith Benefits), then next closest team is the mets at something like $116m. But its not about the $$$.
