>>470074 There's still a huge difference in the makeup of the teams. The Sox have a high payroll but most of their players are from the farm system or making lousy money.
Ellsbury - farm system, rookie contract Pedroia - farm system, rookie contract Youkilis - farm system, rookie contract Jed Lowrie - farm system, rookie contract David Ortiz - got from the Twins forever ago, took a cheap contract and is making shit money JD Drew - HUGE motherfucking contract, wtf? Jason Bay - traded Manny, our highest paid player, away Mike Lowell - got in a trade forever ago, making average money Catcher - who knows???
so that's 4/9 batters from the farm system, 2 acquired in trades and making average/shit money, 1 making big money for no real reason, and 1 we don't know about (Veritek was making shit money and couldn't hit). If I remember right, the Yanks still have at least 3-4 people who are among the top 10 highest paid in the league.
