I give you credit where credit is due. Often, it is the under-paid young guns who really make the team a success.
I was reading today that the Yankees combined salaries are 3 times of the Indians (Cleveland has the 2nd lowest salary total in the AL). The Yankees have 10 players receiving $10million + per year, with 3 over $20 mm. The Indians highest paid player is CC making $8.75 mm per year. The Padres only have one player at $10mm.
I hate to see Steinbrenner buy his team that way. I think he is still mad that he couldn't buy the Indians back in the 70s. Greed typically isn't a trait of Cleveland natives.
