I guess that makes some sense, except that you have to beat the Yankees eventually to win the World Series.
But the Red Sox have adopted exactly the strategy that you stated here - get to the playoffs as inexpensively as possible, and then hope for something unusual to happen. As a fan, I'm not satisfied with that strategy because they have the money to compete with the Yankees, they just choose to maximize their profits instead. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Salemi Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 7:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Jason Bay To win the World Series you need to get into the playoffs. In a division with the Yankees, the cheapest way to get into the playoffs is to win the Wildcard. Winning the division is too expensive.
