Not that I'm whining (okay, I am), but gee, does Cleveland really have a chance?

That's over a four times advantage in payroll.

I know -- it's been done before. Yankees may be vulnerable. Yada, yada.

So, what I've posted earlier this year stays the same:

The division win sated my need for a championship. It was one heck of an exciting season to follow. Totally unexpected. The ALDS win was icing on the cake. My World Series.

Play the Yankees hard. Make them sweat.

which puts him at #11 in MLB while Stephen Vogt is tied for 5th at $4 million.

So the pressure is definitely on Vogt to earn his money and outperform Boone with a roster earning 75% less.

Lots of flab in that number (there always is). Stanton, Rizzo and LeMahieu combined made $57 million this year and the latter two didn’t even play in the ALDS.
