the point is not HOW they use it, but the fact that they shouldnt HAVE that much money. its an uaifnr advantage to other teams, like the rays and marlins, who cant buy those big names whenever they want, and actually have to work to bring up their prospects and stuff and work with wat theyve got. like, while the yanekes were jjust buying their way to the playoffs, the rays were buising actuaslly working on bringing up their young guys, and, becuz of that, they were better than the yankees cuz they had mroe raw talent, not just every big name in the majors who went to the yankees offered them more money to them alone that some teams entire salary cap.
