The Yankees

The Yankees are 3 outs from another world series win.  But I was thinking, and I've been a Yankee fan all my life, that there really is something wrong with the out and out purchase of an all-star team.   They paid more for Sabathia than any team has ever paid for any TWO players!   They bought A-Rod, easily the best hitter of our generation simply because they were able to pay more for him than Boston.   Other than Jeeter, what player have the Yankees really develped - any time in recent history?   The only use they ever make of their farm system is use some promising player as trade bait.   Who's the last guy to come up through AAA ball in the Yankee system?   I mean, was this world series ever in doubt?  Not in my mind.  It was a done deal in most baseball minds from the very first game of the season. Something doesn't feel right about that.
