It pretty much means that their teams stuck with the guys they had and there was a 29/30 chance that they didn't win the World Series because they didn't look into improving themselves.<br />That said I am jealous of the people who can name every player the Yankees have had for them these last five years. They're masters at useless trivia games.<br /><br />Ever since the Tampa Bay Rays showed that you can have a contender for cheap but only if you constantly keep turning over the roster, it's caught on the rest of the MLB and will stay there. Plus with the contracts given to proven major leaguers getting bigger and bigger, constantly turning over the roster and relying on new guys out of the farm system or arriving via trades is the future for a lot of teams.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238534532864885518.post-42216121248877347512015-06-05T12:50:35.144-04:002015-06-05T12:50:35.144-04:00I'm only 25 and I can absolutely say that it h...I'm only 25 and I can absolutely say that it has gotten worse even in my lifetime... I've been a Braves fan my whole life and I can remember being able to recite their lineup backwards in the late 90's. MAYBE we'd acquire a position player and two or so relief pitchers in the offseason, but today I don't feel like its uncommon to have teams turnover lineups that vary by 6 or 7 position players. That is frustrating.Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062079159673852999noreply@blogger.com
