Yankees try to finish what boston couldn't.

[The Jays]

I can understand the perspective, however, that its more rewarding to win with homegrown talent than to buy your way to a championship.

This homegrown talent thing seems kinda iffy. If the Yankees trade a bunch of Triple A prospects to, say, the Seattle organization, and those prospects end up playing for the Mariners, they ain't homegrown. They were traded from the Clippers. How fucking often is it that a player starts his career for a minor league team and makes his way to to play for the majors, staying within the same organization? The only way it would seem to define home grown properly is if a player ends up playing better than he was before he was traded.
