Yes but no $20 per years guys. They aren't buying the market anymore. Mc Cann looks like a barging then and now!
OT: Yanks grab Aroldis Chapmin from Reds

Ha. Who is your team? What's their WS count. Haters gonna hate without the facts
I forgot Tanaka, $155 million/7 years, in the 13-14 offseason.
McCann looked pretty good last year, but in 2014 he looked pretty bad. Not to mention that he's a catcher, so the risk of drop off is pretty high.
Yanks paid $26 M in luxury tax based off contracts equaling about $240 M (that includes non-salary benefits for players) in 2015. Yanks will drop about $40M+ because of the 2016 salaries that will permanently expire.
2016:
$25M CC Sabathia
$23.1M Mark Texeira
$20M Alex Rodriguez
$15M Carlos Beltran
$3M against cap for Martin Prado deal of 2014
2017:
$25M CC Sabathia
$20M Alex Rodriguez
You can't name a better catcher at that price, most of the better ones make much less.
Brian McCann, $17 m in 2014, .692 $17 m in 2015 OPS .756
Russell Martin, $8.5 m in 2014, OPS .823; $7.5 m in 2015, OPS .787
Francisco Cervelli, $700,000 in 2014, OPS .802, $987,500 in 2015, OPS .771
Martin's salary goes up to $15 m next year, and McCann stays at $17 m. Cervelli will be getting a big raise, but I doubt he'll get close to $17 m.
Yeah you're right, no even close, only going 2-2 in 4 WS between 2000 and 2009. BTW, between 1900 and 1922 The Yanks won ZERO WS. Over the next 78 season they won 25. So....we're already up 2 on the last century (if my math is right...). [thumb2][thumb2][thumb2]
Why do people refer to championships from 100 years ago or even ones they weren't alive for? Yankee fans are the worst when it comes to talking rings when 95% of them were only alive for 1977-2009. Obviously the older timers who were alive for the 1950-1960's. I think it so stupid to brag about championships when you were in your dads ball sack or still crappin diapers. This goes for all sports.
Francisco Cervelli ? You're kidding, right ?
Cervelli was a back-up with the Yankees for a few years....and that's all he was ever gonna be with the Yanks...a back-up. I actually can't believe he got a starting gig somewhere in the Majors. He got some big hits for them from time to time, but that's about it. Defensively I believe the one year he got significant playing time behind the plate for the Yanks he was the easiest catcher to steal a base on. And he has no power. He was never gonna be a starter in the Bronx....nowhere near the level of McCann or Martin. More like a D'Arnaud.
In fact, I picked two different catchers who used to play for the Yankees.
It's true that Cervelli was the backup for the Yankees, but once he got a chance to play full time, he performed pretty well. On the offensive side, over the last two years Cervelli has been better, and even in 2015 it was at worst a wash. On the defensive side, McCann is better, but not by as much as you're suggesting - Cervelli's defensive WAR was 0.5 last year, compared to 0.8 for McCann, for instance. The big disparity is in stolen bases, but it's not a $16 million a year difference.
