    The team that buys series.

Yes and no. The 90's and early 2000's run didn't have extravagant spending despite still leading or near-leading in spending, and they had a lot of players that went through the farm system. After that though, it's been all about the big name players...which hasn't exactly worked.

I'm aware of everybody on the Yankees, but it's the guys who go through our system that I root for the hardest. And Tanaka, because he's just so much fun to watch.

But yeah, if there's one thing I like about the NFL that I wish MLB would have it's the salary cap.
