What makes baseball easier to scout than other sports, then? How many time did a "promising" rookie in the NFL shit the bed?

>>76493433
I'm not saying that baseball is easier to scout than other sports. Only that when you're an organization as wealthy as the Yankees, you can afford the best scouts, making it more likely that you're going to find talented young players.

this isnt the EPL dumbass, there's a salary cap.
pretty much any team that matters (all except san diego) spend the same amount on players

>>76494401
There is no cap in baseball.

>>76494548
I think he's referring to the draft cap and international signings cap, but those are recent additions to the rules and they can be broken if you want to pay the fine.

Doesn't that miss the point of a salary cap? Who is more likely to pay a luxury tax/fine, Athletics or Yankees?

soft cap where you pay double what you go over by
along with a bigger penalty if you go over it for 5 yrs straight
makes 0 sense to over cap and yankees have committed to not going over it for like the past 10 years
also few other teams go over except dodgers
really makes no sense to go over so all teams end up spending around the same amount of money

well from a costs standpoint it stops making sense after a while

say you value a player in free agency at $5 million a year, but you are over the cap so you have to pay a 100% luxury tax, is that player really worth $10 million a year in total cost to you? most of the time he isnt

Yankees haven't won shit since their rebuild and when the Dodgers started to spend money. Yankees are not in a better position to win than the Dodgers, but they are pretty much top 3-5. Yankees have youth in Severino, Judge (25), and Sanchez (24). They also have a great farm system with Gleyber Torres, Rutherford, and Clint Frazier. However, they don't have in their prime stars that the Dodgers do apart from Chapman who is matched by Jansen.

Dodgers have Bellinger, Seager, and Urias. They have 3 great pitching prospects in Buehler, Alvarez, and White. They have Calhoun, and Verdugo who could also be traded for more talent. So youth is present, but they also have a guy like Kershaw and Justin Turner. It feels like the Yankees pitching might not hold out in the 2nd half of the season.

If Tanaka turns it around I'll do a 180 on that opinion, but that's the way I see it.

>How does a team historically get the best rookies?

20 of the piss-smelling Yankees' World Series Titles came before the was an amateur draft in baseball. The team with the most money to spend simply signed all the best high school talent it could - out bidding teams for the top players.

All the Yankees' success stems from the fact piss-smelling NY city had the most people and therefore the piss-smelling Yankees made the most money.

One famous story is when they tried to sign Yaz. Yaz's dad said he wanted the Yankees to pay for his school or some such and the scout tossed his pen in the air, where it hit Yaz's ceiling. Yaz's dad got pissed and kicked the guy out - so they signed with Boston instead.

But yeah. If you were born in NY and root for the local team, fine. But if not, and you're a Yankees fan, you're among the most pathetic sports fans on Earth. Especially now in the 21st Century, when the Yankees are Boston's bitch.

What a dumb analysis

>>76493433
what, baseball is much harder to scout than other sports, mlb draft is practically a crapshoot after the first few picks, and even those are far from guaranteed to be good players. Baseball players often take far longer, until their mid 20s, to really show their true potential also, it's not like other sports that are more about athleticism where players show their potential much earlier

Anyway, richer teams absolutely have an advantage not through the draft but with international guys, they can afford to throw more money at all the dominicans and venezuelans and cubans.

Both of these franchises are owned by groups of wealthy as fuck people and corporations. There is zero reason why the people who own the A's can't invest more money in to them aside from greed. No one who owns a MLB franchise is going to be sleeping in the streets if he brings his spending up to the level of the Yankees.

I'm a Red Sox fan I DESU I can't really say much bad about this new Yankee team. For the first time since the mid-90's you're much more built than bought and Judge is an awesome player. I do think you'll dud out a bit in the dog days of July and August but you've already blown away all expectations with your start to this year.
