It kinda has, they're a very old team. I could see a senario one year where the injuries are even worse than this year, say Giambi, Posada, Johnson or even Rivera. And if some of the guys get old and hurt, you're limited in what you can do. In a couple of years, you can't move a 37 year old Giambi, for example, with 18 mil coming to him without paying for most of it. And you can't give another younger guy that kinda of money without clearing money unless you absolutely have no regard for your money spent and intend to possibly lose money
