hon, it's really cute for you to think that the only reason the yankees win is because they have great team chemistry, but i'm inclined to think that if they cut everyone's salary in half, none of them would stay and the team would suck.
just my opinion, of course.
as for the willing vs. able part, i don't know. a-rod's contract is HUGE. that's a lot of risk to take on one player and they probably thought that they had already taken that risk by STEALING MANNY RAMIREZ FROM CLEVELAND
thanks for the conversation, though. i forgot just how much i like baseball.
