Are the Yankees Wising Up?

I enjoyed David Pinto's latest article on overpaying star players. You can check it out here: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=overpayingaplayeronceiso&prov=tsn&type=lgns

One thing in this article really jumped out at me: My beloved Yankees have a current player on 3 of the 4 lists, and they are all first or second in their respective listings.

This reeks of the early 2000's where New York was repeatedly overpaying over-the-hill people to fill the roster. I'm shocked Jonny Damon doesn't appear on this list!

However, this off-season has witnessed the Yanks refuse to overpay for Torii Hunter, and pass up sacrificing young talent for a superstar. I hope this is the start of a trend for New York where they remain competitive while allowing their young guys to play.
