Remember, the Yankees won their championships in the 90s with great players...great, YOUNG, homegrown players with some decent older vets sprinkled in. I think history would show that this is how most teams win championships. As long as they rely upon really expensive players over the age of 30 or older, I think they will be just good enough to contend for playoff spots, and even make the playoffs 4 out of 5 years, but never win the whole thing...or at least not that often.
