As a Yankee fan I thought the best player the team signed in years was Mark Teixeira. The big first baseman, who got a $180 million deal from the club shores up the first base position for years to come.
But at what cost? It looks like with all the money they spent...there goes the youth movement. And as the payroll came down a lot after the season it has gone up to almost as much as it was for last year.
In this bad economy all you hear from all media outlets is that the Yankees are ruining baseball even though they are just playing by the rules. In mid January the tickets go on sale. It will be interesting to see what the prices are and how much they go up. And for fans like myself who have partial plans we may not be able to afford to go anymore. I know for a fan of a team who just improved about 10 games in the standings I sound bitter that's just the way I feel.
