Message: [QUOTE="Cheddie, post: 3233081, member: 482"] George Steinbrenner made LOTS of terrible deals and signings, mostly because he was obsessed with dominating the tabloid back pages. His strategy of signing older stars - often past their prime - wouldn't work today. In getting "names," he decimated the farm system and let it rot. The team has a great pipeline of young talent now. Yeah, you wanna win this year, but guys like Garcia set you up for years to come. They'll be fine until post-season, and if Severino and Betances can return, they'll be tough then. [/QUOTE]
