Little Stein: Only Big Market Teams Can Play Aggressively

No matter what you think of revenue sharing, Hank Steinbrenner pulls out a whole gallon of odd logic in saying the Tampa Bay Rays have no business being uppity with the mighty Yankees:

"I don't want these teams in general to forget who subsidizes a lot of them, and it's the Yankees, the Red Sox, Dodgers, Mets," he said to The New York Post. "I would prefer if teams want to target the Yankees that they at least start giving some of that revenue sharing and luxury tax money back. From an owner's point of view, that's my point."

Pleasant fellow, Hank is.

What an ass. Maybe you should do something before you shoot your mouth off. Other than decree ARod will never play for your team again and cave a few months later.

Cave or not, he did sign the best player in baseball. I'd love to have seen the Cubs cave in and sign A-Rod.

Not questioning the signing, just the fact that he stood there like a big blowhard and told the world he would never play for the Yankees again. Maybe he should take a minute with the new billion dollar gift his daddy gave him and learn a little tact and discretion.
