Nice compliments there Joe as he almost sounds envious ! I guess the reality is this current Yankee team is using this current Red Sox team as a model to copy and be just like in the future ! Like I said this teams only weakness is middle relief !
Yep. Nobody ever thought of trading older, high priced has-beens for youth before. Nobody ever said "trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late" before. Man, Red Sox management is creative, imaginative and breaking new ground with their approach. Can't believe nobody had done that in baseball for 100 plus years.

Red Sox may not have invented it but the EE has never done it before.
Beware of fools & trolls here, they lurk everywhere.

Can't you ever just admit the truth or give a compliment about an issue without spinning a line of Bull chit ? First of all those aren't my words, it's a QUOTE from Girardi the Yankee manager who obviously was giving the Current Red Sox team and management praise for the team they have assembled which I might add fields 8 or 9 starting players who CAME UP THRU THE SYSTEM which is what I also think Girardi was also eluding to . Too bad certain Yankee fans can't be as classy and gracious as said Yankee management !

Come on Atomic - these are clearly your words, not Joe's . . . I'm one of the biggest Red Sox fans here (believe me, the last couple days in the G house have been challenging with these Yank games ) . . . but, even I can see that the Yanks are just doing what has been done in the majors all along . . . now maybe the Yanks have not used their farm system as much in the past couple decades, but using now does not mean they are copying the Red Sox

If you look at my post you can clearly see QUOTATION MARKS on the part that Joe said and then yes I put in my 2 cents, but all the compliments and envy were Joe's words not mine and do I personally think the Yanks are copying the blueprint in how the current Red Sox team was assembled ? You betcha because times have changed and players have changed so because it was mostly done from within and done well It was very classy of Joe to hand out compliments ! It's all home grown talent that hasn't broke the bank is the BOTTOM LINE !.... But we don't want to get into PAYROLL yet ! Sorry for rambling but I'm at work on half hidden screen... so gotta go.........

If you all recall, this is how Tampa Bay began challenging the rest of the division. Many in Baseball got away from how the game (and many of those 27 Yankee championships) were built. Free agency changed many things. Using the minors to build a team is an old school method, and baseball is just returning to its roots.

Last time the Yankees moved this way was the early 1990s when they developed the "core four". Since they won all those championships and/or competed for them most years since, their farm system deteriorated as they drafted lower and continued to sign free agents for the price of additional draft choices. It was time to let go of the old baggage and restock the system.

Red Sox farm system and a consistently solid Mgmt strategy allowed them to completely blow things up 4 years ago.
Without dumping the $270M salary baggage on LA, they might also be battling for the cellar right now.
Yankees do not have that luxury. Farm systems do not blossom overnight.
Sox fans have learned the lesson of patience .. handed down thru generations.
What goes around comes around.
