Bamboozle,
Having Alex on the Team is certainly unique in MLB. There are a number of Teams that don't have that much of an operating budget and could not handle his salary. I'm not a fan of paying ONE player a lot more money than the other players, because even if it doesn't show on the surface that it's a detriment, it could divide the Team to a certain extent. But Alex isn't the issue, the new Coach is. I've followed Baseball my whole life and I think it's important to MLB that the Yankees become successful. Yankees vs Boston is the BEST game to watch!
