Anyways, trust me, I12...I'm pretty sure that the reasons the Yankees didn't go gaga over Matsuzaka (although I'm sure they thought that their bid would have been enough) was that they're keeping a nice little nest egg to make Santana the highest paid pitcher, if not player, in major league baseball once he's an FA.
I really hope your right. But with other teams such as boston, Anaheim and the Mets competing with the Yankees in bidding wars, I'm a little more worried now than I would have been a few seasons ago. As for Matsuzaka, I'm REALLY hoping he's another Hideo Nomo. The first couple of seasons the guy was great and I think his delivery really threw hitters timing off. But once guys saw him enough and timed him right, they knocked him all around.
