Curbing Gun Violence Through Behavior Control
"Behavior is contagious," said Dr. Gary Slutkin, founder and executive director of Cure Violence, in this special USA Today release on violence prevention.
"Behavior is contagious," said Dr. Gary Slutkin, founder and executive director of Cure Violence, in this special USA Today release on violence prevention.
On TIME.com, Gary Slutkin, founder of Cure Violence, discusses how recognizing violence as a contagious process allows for treatment using the same methods that successfully contain other epidemic processes – interrupting transmission, and behavior and normative change.

I can't even imagine buying a book through Amazon. I can't say why, I just can't imagine doing it. I can say why digital books don't appeal to me. I like the feel of a book, and that just can't be replaced, and something seriously bothers me about an electric book.
As for the difference between analog and digital music, it is just a fact that analog recording and reproduction equipment more faithfully reproduces some sounds. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people who are seriously into classical music still listen only to media that were both recorded and reproduced on analog equipment. Of course, most modern music is created on digital equipment, so that isn't so much a problem. And although I am aware that digital recording is inferior, my ears are nowhere near well-enough trained to pick up the difference.
JJAK, I'm a bit surprised by what you said, but I guess living in (or near) Anchorage would be the difference. Online was by far the cheapest and fastest way for me to get anything in Alaska, but most of that was because I didn't live in town, so for most things online was the only way to buy it. (Buying groceries online took some getting used to.)

As far as getting rid of my CDs, I'm reasonably sure that they will have to sit unused for a minimum of 10 years before I feel safe getting rid of them. Just like everything else in the house...
I went into Best Buy to see if they had an HDMI switch so I can plug multiple HDMI devices into my TV. They had two models in stock. One for $152 and another for "only" $102. I left the store, came home, went to Amazon.com and bought it for $10. Is it any wonder Best Buy is dying?
I've always been asked about extended warranties, and now only one "not interested" ends that discussion. It wasn't always that way. Accessories, on the other hand, usually takes 2-3 "not interested" answers to end the discussion.

In that environment entities like Best Buy are dead. They can't even root for oil prices to spike, since transport costs hurt them as much as they hurt anybody else (worse, if they have more links in their supply chain).

Oh I'm sure there will be! I (Valerie) and a few other fynf contributors will be there. There is a thread for the event in Our Pants where NFs have been discussing things a bit. If/when something more concrete is planned, we'll definitely post about it.
And if there are already meetups in the works, y'all, please let us know so we can inform everyone!

Our loyalty is due entirely to the United States. It is due to the President only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the United States. It is our duty to support him when he serves the United States well. It is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly. This is true about Mr. Wilson now and it has been true about all our Presidents in the past. It is our duty at all times to tell the truth about the President and about every one else, save in the cases where to tell the truth at the moment would benefit the public enemy.

THANKS FOR EVERY FAV ,COMMENT AND FOLLOW .Jul 18th
I am an artist who enjoys creating illustrations for all ages. When I first started drawing, I drew anime fanart. Even though it wasn't all that good, I kept going. I later drifted away from anime into more of a fantasy interest and started painting faeries in watercolors. Due to the high prices for traditional media, I switched to digital media only in 2008. After temporarily getting bored with fantasy in 2010, I began to paint animals. I would still do fantasy from time to time, but focus on animals. Since summer 2013, I have reincorporated fantasy, but with the anime style, back into my gallery.

2013 Payroll Breakdown: Part OnePosted by: | Comments
The Yankees intend to get under the $189M luxury tax threshold by 2014, and they're going to have to starting taking action this offseason to make sure that happens. Throughout the winter we'll check in on the club's payroll situation as they make roster moves to see how they're setup for 2013 and potentially 2014 as well. Free agency will open sometime soon depending on the length of the World Series (it'll start no later than ten days from now no matter what), so let's first look at the money the Yankees have coming off the books this winter. It's not a small amount.
- Pending Free Agents ($76.14M): Mariano Rivera ($15M), Rafael Soriano ($14M), Nick Swisher ($10.25M), Hiroki Kuroda ($10M), Russell Martin ($7.5M), Freddy Garcia ($4M), Pedro Feliciano ($3.75M), Andruw Jones ($2.54M), Andy Pettitte ($2.5M), Raul Ibanez ($2.5M), Ichiro Suzuki ($2.25M), Eric Chavez ($1.85M)
- Scheduled Raises ($3M): Curtis Granderson (+$5M), Robinson Cano (+$1M), Derek Jeter ($+1M), Alex Rodriguez (-$1M), A.J. Burnett (-$3M)
- Buyouts ($0.50M): Feliciano ($0.50M)
I'm assuming Soriano will opt-out of his contract, which seems likely. The Yankees will pay $8.5M of Burnett's salary next year after paying $11.5M last year, so that's cool. Feliciano has a $500k buyout coming to him as well. Put it all together — (Pending Free Agents) minus (Scheduled Raises) minus (Dead Money & Buyouts) — and the club will have approximately $72.64M coming off the books this offseason. I'm ignoring minimum salary pickups like Derek Lowe, because who cares about guys making the minimum.
Anyway, I count nine arbitration-eligible players this offseason: Phil Hughes, Brett Gardner, David Robertson, Joba Chamberlain, Boone Logan, Jayson Nix, Casey McGehee, Frankie Cervelli, and Chris Dickerson. Dickerson and Cervelli are on the Super Two bubble, so they might fall short. McGehee seems like a safe bet to either be non-tendered or traded, clearing his salary. Hughes, Robertson, and Logan are due considerable raises (relative to last year's salary) while Joba and Gardner will get slightly smaller raised due to their injuries. This will be expensive class though, probably an increase of $10M or so compared to last year. Suddenly that $72.64M becomes $62.64M. Once MLBTR posts their salary projections we'll have a much better idea of the arbitration situation.
With that money, the Yankees will need to find a catcher, a right fielder, a DH, a late-inning reliever, at least one starting pitcher (preferably two), a bench, and miscellaneous depth players. That's assuming they're willing to spend as much in 2013 as they did in 2012. It is more than enough money, but Brian Cashman & Co. will need to find payroll-friendly solutions if they're going to stick to this 2014 payroll plan. Either that or they're going to be signing a bunch of players to one-year contracts, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd love to see both Kuroda and Pettitte on one-year pacts, that would be my ideal starting pitching solution.
As the offseason progresses and players to start to sign — both free agents and arbitration guys — we'll have a better idea of what the Yankees will spend in 2013 compared to 2012. I think this will be the team's busiest offseason since 2008-2009 (it probably won't even be all that close when it's all said and done), but it'll be interesting to see how the Yankees plug those holes given what appears to be an utter lack of viable alternatives. This might be a winter heavy on trades and not free agent signings.
Breaking down the payroll, part fourPosted by: | Comments
Now that just about all of the Yankees' offseason business has been addressed, we can take one final look at the team's (approximate) payroll for the upcoming season. A lot has happened since we last checked in, most notably the Eric Chavez and Raul Ibanez signings. Brett Gardner, Russell Martin, and Boone Logan have since avoided arbitration as well, and yesterday the Yankees added David Aardsma for good measure. Here's a look at the team's commitments for the 2012 season…
- Guaranteed Contracts (21 players, $188.4M): Alex Rodriguez ($27.5M), CC Sabathia ($24.4M), Mark Teixeira ($22.5M), Derek Jeter ($17M), Mariano Rivera ($15M), Robinson Cano ($14M), Rafael Soriano ($11M), Nick Swisher ($10.25M), Curtis Granderson ($10M), Hiroki Kuroda ($10M), Martin ($7.5M), Freddy Garcia ($4M), Phil Hughes ($3.2M), Gardner ($2.8M), Andruw Jones ($2M), Logan ($1.875M), Joba Chamberlain ($1.675M), David Robertson ($1.6M), Ibanez ($1.1M), Cory Wade ($500k), David Aardsma ($500k)
- Contracts Pending Physicals (one player, $900k): Chavez ($900k)
- Dead Money (three players, $15.75M): A.J. Burnett ($11.5M), Pedro Feliciano ($4M), Damaso Marte ($0.250M)
The money listed is in terms of average annual value, which is what is used to calculate the luxury tax. The players' actual salaries are slightly different in some cases, but nothing crazy.
All told, that gives us $205.05M for 25 players, three of whom will contribute nothing to the team this season. Joba and Aardsma are going to be out until midseason, so that $205.05M is filling 20 roster spots on Opening Day. The other five spots will go to guys making the league minimum — Ivan Nova, Michael Pineda, Eduardo Nunez, Frankie Cervelli, and a mystery reliever — so that adds another $2.5M to our grand total ($500k each). The projected Opening Day 25-man roster will cost roughly $207.55M.
The remaining 15 players on the 40-man roster will cost less than the league minimum since they'll earn a different salary in the minors, but let's conservatively estimate their salaries at $500k each and $7.5M for the group. The brings the approximate cost of the entire 40-man roster to $215.05M. In reality, those last 15 players will end up making something like $4-5M combined, if that. Add in player benefits — which are typically estimated at $10M and count against the luxury tax — brings us to a $225.05M payroll for luxury tax purposes. Last year the team was taxed on a $212.7M payroll, so at least we're in the ballpark. This year's luxury tax penalty would be $18.82M or so.
Had the Yankees kept Burnett and instead used him as that last mystery reliever, the luxury tax payroll would have been $229.55M assuming they would have still signed Ibanez, Aardsma, and Chavez. I don't know if /how much the Yankees have in reserve for a potential trade deadline addition, and chances are they don't either. That's probably one of those things Brian Cashman brings to Hal Steinbrenner on a case-by-case basis. The roster is pretty much set right now though, barring injury or something completely unexpected. I don't anticipate any significant changes to the 25-man roster or payroll through the rest of Spring Training, and this year's Yankees figure to be the most expensive baseball team in history.
Breaking down the payroll, part threePosted by: | Comments
It's been less than a month since we last checked on in the Yankees' projected 2012 payroll, but a lot has changed. Just about all of it in the last week or two as well. The Michael Pineda/Jesus Montero trade didn't change anything financially (at least not significantly) since they're both in their pre-arbitration years, but the Hiroki Kuroda signing and arbitration settlements sure did. Andruw Jones agreed to come back, Cory Wade inked a new deal … and that's pretty much it. Here are the gory details…
- Guaranteed Contracts (16 players, $183.125M): Alex Rodriguez ($27.5M), Mark Teixeira ($22.5M), CC Sabathia ($24.4M), Derek Jeter ($17M), A.J. Burnett ($16.5M), Mariano Rivera ($15M), Robinson Cano ($14M), Rafael Soriano ($11M), Nick Swisher ($10.25M), Curtis Granderson ($10M), Pedro Feliciano ($4M), Freddy Garcia ($4M), Phil Hughes ($3.2M), Joba Chamberlain ($1.675M), David Robertson ($1.6M), Wade ($500k)
- Contracts Pending Physicals (two players, $12M): Kuroda ($10M), Jones ($2M)
- Unsigned Arbitration-Eligibles (three players, $13.5M max/$11.1M min): Russell Martin (filed for $8.2M, Yanks for $7M), Brett Gardner ($3.2M/$2.4M), Boone Logan ($2.1M/$1.7M)
- Option Buy-Outs (one player, $0.250M): Damaso Marte ($0.250M)
The money listed is in terms of average annual value, which is what the luxury tax is based on. The players' actual salaries are slightly different in some cased, but nothing crazy.
So that's all of it, 22 players owed a maximum of $208.875M and a minimum of $206.475M. One of those 22 is not on the team anymore, and for simplicity's sake, let's assume Martin, Gardner, and Logan each win their arbitration cases. That gives us 21 active players and a $208.875M payroll, though Feliciano is only active in the sense that he's taking a spot on the 40-man roster. It's really 20 active players for that price.
The Yankees have been talking about spending just $2M or so on a DH, but I think that's their way of trying to drive Johnny Damon's down more than anything. I expect them to end up spending about $4-5M on the DH, but anything more would surprise me. If they sign a DH for $5M and fill the remaining four roster spots with guys making the league minimum, the 25-man payroll would be approximately $215.875M, up a couple million up from the $212.7M that was luxury taxed in 2011. We haven't even included the rest of the 40-man roster or stuff like player benefits (which gets taxed as well) yet either.
The other 15 players on the 40-man roster will make the league minimum, though let's call it 16 players since Feliciano will be stashed on the 60-day DL so another player can be added at some point. Calling it $8M for those players is conservative ($500k each), since they'll make a substantially smaller salary while in the minors. The $8M is probably closer to $3M in reality, if that. Player benefits are taxed and typically estimated at $10M, which brings us to $233.875M, conservatively. Just imagine if they add a player or two at the trade deadline.
None of us are privy to the Yankees' financial info, but chances are they can support a payroll much higher than the $200M or so they've been spending in recent years. We can't say that for sure, but it's a reasonable assumption. I do however think the commissioner's office and players union have discouraging them from raising payroll any further, just like they've encouraged small market teams (the Marlins and Athletics, specifically) to spend more in recent years. Raising the payscale for many second and third tier players over a handful of superstars is probably a net win for the union.
Anyway, that's my one-paragraph semi-conspiracy payroll theory. As Stephen will explain later today, the club is going to have to make several tough decisions if they're serious about getting under the $189M luxury tax threshold two years from now, but for now we don't have to worry about that. The Yankees will again spend an absurd amount of money of their 40-man roster in 2012, far more than any other team.
The $189M Payroll: Part 2 of 2Posted by: | Comments
This post was written by Moshe Mandel and Stephen Rhoads
In part 1 of this series we went through six different payroll scenarios for the Yankees over the next decade. We were careful to distinguish between total savings and CBA savings, noting that how you treat the difference in payroll can make a big difference. Where you come down on the question of how much the Yankees can save is very much determined by which figures you're examining. Let's use Scenario 1 as an example. In this Scenario, payroll goes from $210M in 2013 to $189M in 2014, and then goes back to $210M in 2015. We summarized the savings accordingly:
2014: Payroll at $189M
Payroll savings: $21M
Revenue sharing refund: $10M
Luxury tax savings ($21M*50%): $10.5M
Total saved: $41.5M
2015: Payroll back at $210M
No payroll savings
No refund
Luxury tax savings ($21M*50%) – ($21M* 17.5%): $6.825M
Total saved: 6.825M
2016: Payroll stays at $210M
No payroll savings
No refund
Luxury tax savings: ($21M*50%) – ($21M*30%): $4.2M
Total saved: $4.2M
2017: Payroll stays at $210M
No payroll savings
No refund
Luxury tax savings: (21*50%) – (21*40%): 2.1M
Total saved: $2.1M
CBA Savings: $23.125M
Now, how you account for 2014 really determines whether the savings are significant or not. We peg the initial savings figure for 2014 at $41.5M saved. This number is comprised of a $21M reduction in payroll, a $10M refund from revenue sharing, and a $10.5M savings in luxury tax. However, the $21M reduction in payroll and the $10.5M reduction in luxury tax don't really have anything to do with the new CBA per se. This $30.5M savings is a savings they could have gotten at any point in the last decade simply by reducing payroll. Thus, the $30.5M is comprised of savings prompted by the CBA, but it's not comprised of savings emanating from the new CBA. It's a $30.5M they could have gotten at any point in the last few years and chose not to. It's still a cash item – it's not depreciation in a cash flow statement – and it still means more money in the coffers, but it's not a CBA savings per se, at least in our estimation. This is an important distinction.
In 2015, the payroll goes back to $210M, which means there are no payroll savings and no revenue sharing refund. There is a luxury tax savings though, as the new CBA allows teams to "reset" the luxury tax by going under the threshhold in just one season, an option that was unavailable under the old agreement. This means that any savings reaped due to the reduced tax rate can be attributed to the new CBA and can therefore be included as "CBA" savings. In this particular scenario, these savings are comprised of a $6.825M difference in what their bill would have been had they not gone under $189M in 2014 compared to what it is since they did go below the threshold. In other words, had they not gone under $189M in 2014, their luxury tax rate in 2015 would have been 50%. Since they did, it's $17.5%. The difference is $6.825M. This is a real CBA savings and it plays out over the 2016 and 2017 as well (rate goes up to 30% and 40%, respective, per the CBA). Thus, the total amount saved in Scenario 1 is about $55M, but only $23M of it is prompted by the new CBA. Here's the summary, then, of all six scenarios and how much the team could save by going with each option.
Scenario 1 ($210M to $189M in 2014, returns to $210M in 2015 and beyond): total savings of $55M, CBA savings of $23M.
Scenario 2 ($210M to $189M in 2014, stays at $189 for 3 seasons): total savings of $147M, CBA savings of $53M.
Scenario 3 ($210 to $189M in 2014, stays at $189 for 2 of 3 seasons): total savings of $116M, CBA savings of $54M
Scenario 4 ($220M to $189M in 2014, returns to $220M in 2015 and beyond): total savings of $76M, CBA savings of 29M.
Scenario 5 ($220M to $189M in 2014, stays at $189M for 3 seasons): total savings of $199M, CBA savings of $59M.
Scenario 6 ($220M to $189M in 2014, stays at $189M for 2 of 3 seasons): total savings of $152M, CBA savings of $59M.
Clearly the Yankees would save the most total money in Scenarios 2, 3, 5 and 6. In these scenarios, they're dropping their payroll down to $189M and keeping it there for a substantial amount of time. The most they could save would be in Scenario 5, in which they shave nearly $40M off their payroll and maintain the reduction. In this case they'd net nearly $200M more, $59M of which would be a derivative of the new CBA.
These gains would be real, but they're not entirely relevant for our purposes. Saying the team could save nearly $200M in Scenario 5 is true, but it's also true they could save $75M right this moment if they dropped their payroll down by $75M. Of course, they haven't done that at any point in recent memory. Our concern is the CBA savings.
The team would obviously save the most by dropping the payroll and keeping it low. Their tax bill would be lower, and they'd receive money back from the revenue sharing refund. However, these CBA-related savings don't seem to amount to more than $60M. If they don't maintain the new low payroll, the savings are even less. In Scenarios 1 and 4, in which they drop the payroll for one year and return it to prior levels immediately after, they'd only save $23M-$29M over four years. At most, this amounts to a little over $7M per year. In the latter scenarios, this annual savings figure rises to a little less than $12 million per year.
It's our opinion that if the Yankees were interested in saving fifteen to thirty-five million dollars a year in payroll and tax, they should have done it already. They could have done it at any point in the last decade. We're told that the new CBA incentivizes them to get below $189M to incur specific savings, but we see that the only time those savings are truly noteworthy is in the unlikely scenario in which the Yankees stay under $189M for a significant amount of time. Furthermore, we see that the CBA-related savings, at their most extreme, are about $12M a year. Are the Yankees really concerned about $12M a year in "new savings"? Are they suddenly concerned about the fifteen to thirty-five million dollars a year that they could have been saving all along? Perhaps most importantly, are they willing to forgo top free agents and risk missing the postseason to garner those savings?
Without further guidance as to what the true long-term goal is, we can't get more specific than this. But it seems to be the case that the team will only realize serious, significant gains if they make a permanent move towards a payroll level more reminiscent of the early part of the last decade. Perhaps we're stuck in the denial stage of the 5 stages of grief. It's hard for us to understand the prospect of a "new normal" in which the payroll drops 10-20% while the team simultaneously reaps greater and greater revenues from a lucrative television network and new stadium. It's even harder for us to understand risking contention in an increasingly competitive American League with an already-expensive roster to simply eke out a pittance in savings relative to the team's balance sheet. But this may be the new Yankees reality, in which the Steinbrenners reach for a modicum of fiscal responsibility at the expense of some performance certainty. If it is, we all need to adjust our expectations accordingly.
The $189M Payroll: Part 1 of 2Posted by: | Comments
This post was written by Moshe Mandel and Stephen Rhoads
Yesterday Joe walked through the different stages of grief Yankee fans have been going through since learning that a $189M payroll was a realistic option in the near future. Part of my frustration when reading this (still in stage 2, I suppose) was that I didn't have a firm handle on how much money the Yankees would actually be saving. If the amount they could potentially save ranges into the nine figures territory, then it's hard to quibble with the team tightening the belt. If it was significantly less, then a whole host of options come into play, including the possibility that the team is not serious about getting below $189M in 2014 and was using Sherman to broadcast their bluff in advance of the Yu Darvish bid.
Accordingly, Moshe and I have run the numbers for six different payroll scenarios. We used the basic parameters set forth by Sherman in this quote to try and estimate the proper figures for each scenario:
For if they are at $189 million or less for the three seasons from 2014-16, they not only avoid paying one cent in luxury tax, which would rise to 50 percent for them as repeat offenders, but they also would get roughly $40 million in savings via the to-be-implemented market disqualification revenue sharing program. However, only teams under the luxury-tax threshold get reimbursed in this program, which is designed to prevent big markets such as Toronto and Washington from receiving revenue sharing dollars, which in turn will lower how much teams such as the Yanks pay (as long as they are under the threshold).
And even if they just went under $189 million for 2014 before going over again in 2015, the Yankees would receive serious benefits. They would get about $10 million in the revenue sharing disqualification program. Also, by simply going under the threshold once, the Yankees would go back to having a 17.5 percent tax rather than the 50 percent that begins in 2014 for them if they never go under. Keep in mind that since the luxury tax went to 40 percent for them in 2005, the Yankees have averaged paying $25.75 million in tax annually.
In the first three scenarios, we use a $210M payroll in 2013, and then assume that they go back to $210M in later years. In the second three scenarios, we use a $220M payroll. In each scenario, we provide savings figures per year. At the bottom of each scenario we provide a total amount saved, and also provide what we're calling "CBA Savings". This figure emanates directly from the new CBA, and would include revenue sharing refunds, and luxury tax savings resulting from a new, lowered rate. It would not include the $21M they'd save from going from a $210M payroll to a $189M payroll, for instance. We get down to business after the jump.

Breaking down the payroll, part twoPosted by: | Comments
It's been a little over a month since we last broke down the Yankees' payroll, but a lot has changed since then. Robinson Cano and Nick Swisher had their clubs options officially picked up, Andrew Brackman was cut loose, Rafael Soriano did not opt-out of his deal, and CC Sabathia signed a new contract extension. Let's take stock of who the team currently has under contract for next season…
- Guaranteed Contracts (eleven players, $172.875M): Alex Rodriguez ($30M), Mark Teixeira ($23.125M), Sabathia ($23M), A.J. Burnett ($16.5M), Derek Jeter ($16M), Mariano Rivera ($15M), Cano ($14M), Soriano ($11M), Swisher ($10.25M), Curtis Granderson ($10M), Pedro Feliciano ($4M)
- Arbitration-Eligible (six players): Joba Chamberlain, Brett Gardner, Phil Hughes, Boone Logan, Russell Martin, David Robertson
- Option Buy-Outs (one player, $0.250M): Damaso Marte ($0.250M)
Freddy Garcia's new one-year contract is not yet official, but all reports indicate that it will have a $4M base salary plus incentives. That brings us up to a dozen players and a total payout of $177.125M. Using MLBTR's projections, the Yankees will have another $17.9M tied up in their six arbitration-eligible players. Chris Dickerson just missed the Super Two cutoff, so he's not yet eligible for arbitration. That's $195.025M for 18 players.
There are currently 22 pre-arbitration players on the 40-man roster, and the new CBA raised the minimum salary to $480k. If we estimate those 22 guys at half-a-mil each, it's another $11M on the payroll, bringing us to $206.025M for 40 players. It doesn't work like that though, not all 22 of those guys will be in the big leagues this year. Cory Wade, Ivan Nova, Jesus Montero, and Eduardo Nunez seem to be the only guys with a realistic chance of sticking all year. The other 18 pre-arbitration guys will spend the majority of the year in the minors and earn minor league salaries.
Adding Wade, Nova, Montero, and Nunez to the 18 players above gives us a payroll of $197.025M with three spots on the 25-man active roster left open. Preferably, one of those spots will go to Andruw Jones, another to a starting pitcher, and the last to someone filling the Eric Chavez role (backup corner infielder, lefty bat off the bench). The Yankees are all but guaranteed to go over the $200M mark next season, even if they just re-sign Andruw and fill the last two spots with Hector Noesi and Brandon Laird.
If the Yankees are planning to stick to that $200M limit they've talked about in recent years, then they won't be making any major signings this winter without shipping some salary out. They could save a few bucks if the arbitration salaries are lower than projected, but it's unlikely to be enough to land a big name pitcher. The Yankees are either going to have to start next season with a higher payroll than what they've indicated they'd like it to be, or they're going to have to get creative to make major upgrades this winter.
Breaking down the payrollPosted by: | Comments
As always, the Yankees will have some work to do this offseason, primarily with shoring up their pitching staff. They have a decent amount of money coming off the books, mostly in the form of Jorge Posada ($13.1M) and Kei Igawa ($4M), and that money will be plugged right back into the team. In fact, that money and then some figures to be spent this winter. With some help from Cot's Baseball Contracts, let's look at the Yankees salary commitments for 2012…
- Guaranteed Contracts (eight players, $125.625M): Alex Rodriguez ($30M), Mark Teixeira ($23.125M), A.J. Burnett ($16.5), Derek Jeter ($16M), Mariano Rivera ($15M), Rafael Soriano ($11M), Curtis Granderson ($10M), Pedro Feliciano ($4M)
- Option Pick-Ups (two players, $24.25M): Robinson Cano ($14M), Nick Swisher ($10.25M)
- Option Buy-Outs (one player, $0.250M): Damaso Marte ($0.250M)
That's guaranteed money only, and I took the liberty of leaving CC Sabathia out given his opt-out clause. The ten players (not counting Marte) account for $150.25M, and based on MLBTR's projections, we should conservatively tack on another $17.9M for the six arbitration-eligible players (David Robertson, Boone Logan, Joba Chamberlain, Brett Gardner, Phil Hughes, and Russell Martin). That makes it $168.15M for 16 players.
The pre-arbitration guys don't make a ton of money (relative to the baseball pay scale, that is), but they add up. There's 18 of them on 40-man roster right now plus two more coming in David Phelps and D.J. Mitchell (who are Rule 5 Draft eligible), so let's conservatively estimate those guys at $10M total (half a mil each). Andrew Brackman is a bit of a wild card. He earned $1M last season and I have to imagine he'll make at least that next year per the terms of his big league contract. Let's call it another $1M for simplicity's sake, putting us at $179.15M for 37 players. Of course, a few of those pre-arb guys (Reegie Corona, Kevin Whelan, Justin Maxwell, etc.) figure to meet the roster axe at some point in the not too distant future.
So after all that, the Yankees still need to a) re-sign Sabathia, b) add one more starter, preferably two (assuming one is a Bartolo Colon/Freddy Garcia-type), and c) fill out the bench. Item (c) can be minimized by having Brandon Laird replace Eric Chavez and one of the minimum salary guys replace Andruw Jones. I'd be fine with Laird, at least to start the season, but I'm not sure who would replace Jones as the designated lefty masher. Greg Golson? Maxwell? Eh, not likely. Gonna have to spend a little something there. It was nice having a strong bench this past season.
Hal Steinbrenner has held firm on that $200M (or thereabouts) payroll limit over the last few years, so the Yankees will have to get a little creative to address all their needs. Sabathia did take a reduced salary in the first year of his current contract, so maybe he'd agree to that again knowing Rivera, Swisher, and Feliciano will be coming off the books after the season. Yu Darvish would likely come at a lower annual salary than C.J. Wilson, but would also require a massive up front posting fee payment. Also keep in mind that the salary estimates for the arbitration and pre-arbitration players are conservative and probably a little high, so that $179.15 might be more like $175M or so. Insurance might cover Feliciano's salary for all we know. And who knows, maybe Soriano will opt out, but I'm not holding my breath.
The Yankees appear to have about $25M to play with this winter, which is a ton of free cash in most years. This isn't most years though. Sabathia needs to be retained and they need even more pitching on top of that, so something has to give here.
Are the Yankees paid too well to win?Posted by: | Comments
This is a guest post by Paul Vinelli.
After enduring another horrific start from Andy Pettitte (earning $16 million this season), a strange question enters my mind:
Are the Yankees' players paid too well to win?
I'm not an economist, so my logic is almost entirely anecdotal. My formative years with the Yankees were the late 1980s and early 1990s. Back then, the team nearly always sported one of the largest payrolls in baseball. Steinbrenner and company signed "tough, proven" pitchers (Rick Rhoden, Andy Hawkins), over-hyped "stud prospects" (Hensley Meulens), platooned "aspiring sluggers" (Kevin Maas, Mike Blowers) and routinely overpaid one-dimensional outfielders (Deion Sanders, Jesse Barfield). It was a culture of meddling ownership, fiscal irresponsibility, reckless trades, and dismal grooming of young talent.
As a result, while growing up I always believed in the illusion that the Yankees could compete because the team could afford to swallow its most dreadful mistakes in supplementing the efforts of superstars like Mattingly, Henderson, Winfield, and Righetti. However, with the introduction of sabermetrics and the new generation of free-spending owners, I fear that the current squad fields too many mistake signings and that this affects overall performance.
While the current Yankees administration continues to overpay its players, the competition has become far savvier in how it allocates its resources. The Angels and Tigers have owners that are willing to spend money — and they do so relatively intelligently. The A's have Billy Beane. The Mariners' front office is clueless (witness the Bedard trade), yet their team still competes somehow. Cleveland has a bunch of young studs, and the Rays' collection of prospects might be the best in baseball. Most terrifyingly, the Red Sox employ terrific scouting and top sabermetricians while wielding a payroll that rivals New York's.
And what of the Yankees? Two years ago I considered the Mussina signing to be unwise ($22 million for 07-08) and in 2001 I was rabidly against bringing on Giambi (my friends and I deem the current championship drought as "the curse of the contract"). Andy Pettitte earns $16 million this year, though fortunately his deal is only for one year. Left field is entrusted to the immobile Matsui and the feeble-armed Damon ($26 million combined this year and next). Abreu was re-signed for a ghastly one-year sum, and his effort in RF is best categorized as "easy-going." If Jorge isn't splitting time between 1B and DH by the end of 2009, I'll honestly be surprised. Carl Pavano – 'nuff said.
I believe that the Yankees have repeatedly tendered these ridiculous contracts in the past few years in order to give the elder Steinbrenner one last shot at the title. I respect this win now approach — however, the dynastic nucleus is aging (Pettitte, Jeter, Posada, Rivera) and there is a management struggle at the top (Hank vs. Hal vs. Cash vs. Levine). I'm not sure that if the team even wanted to make a big move (e.g. trade for Sabathia mid-season) that it even could foster the consensus to do so.
Hopefully when the current contracts expire the team will choose to focus on building from within instead of signing another big name to patrol left field. This might require a year or two of non-playoff growing pains, but I'm just hoping that 2008 won't be one of those years.

Buffalo Sabres invite Saginaw Spirit defenseman Brandon Prophet to camp. [mlive.com].
The Buffalo Sabres already have an ECHL affiliate in the Elmira Jackals – but could they be reaching an impromptu de facto relationship with the Saginaw Spirit of the OHL?
After drafting two prospects in the 2012 Draft from Saginaw, the Buffalo Sabres have reached out to the Spirit again, this time to invite defenseman Brandon Prophet to next week's development camp to take place at the First Niagara Center.
Prophet joins the Buffalo Sabres as an undrafted prospect – after failing to entertain any suitors at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. He isn't the only Saginaw player to get an invite. The Detroit Red Wings and Florida Panthers have invited undrafted Spirit players as well.
It seems as though this is the year of the defense for Tim Murray – knowing he isn't going to have a high caliber goaltender, he has increased our ability on the blue line.
How deep do the Buffalo Sabres actually run? Check out the prospect depth chart. [Die By The Blade].
Where do the Buffalo Sabres still have needs to address? 2013 saw the team draft defense only, 2014 they focused on offensive power. Weith a fleury of draft selections especially in the first round of next years draft, the Buffalo Sabres need to start drafting a more well rounded compliment of players if they are going to maintain a prospect system that will fuel the championship culture that Tim Murray wants in place for years to come at all levels.
Did you know that today is a once in a lifetime day? Sure you did, it is French Connection Day. 7-11-14. A day where we can honor Rick Martin, Gilbert Perreault, and Rene Robert for their achievements as the best line in Buffalo Sabres history.
As you raise up your glass this evening in celebration of the weekend, lift one for Rick – who left us to early. Lift one for Gil – who gave us the excitement, and lift one for Rene – who brought it all together.

Not wanting to be out and the money not being an issue is good enough reason. Fortunately, I have had only one power failure here in 20 years from a blown transformer during a snow storm 10 years ago...it was fixed in under 3 hours.If I had a house I likely would have a generator because I work from home and can't afford to be without power for very long. Then again, that wouldn't make much difference other than comfort and being able to at least do offline work if my phone and Internet were also out.--"Dance like the photo isn't being tagged; love like you've never been unfriended; and tweet like nobody is following."
105 at Reagan, 103 at BWI and 101 at Dulles were all daily records, and the 105 at Reagan makes top 5 all time high temp. It is supposed to ease. High 80s and low 90s will seem cool. I had to go up on a roof at work Friday and even in the morning it was hot. I hope today's potential for storms doesn't cause trouble.--Simple rules - no offsides, no intent to maim, everything else is all good!
Working from home is another excellent reason to invest in backup power.If the frequency of outages changes due to global warming, global cooling, Mayan calendar, whatever, I'll probably shell out, too.--Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Thank God for the storms last night! Only 75 now and projected to hit 85 today.
yeah, was loving that pouring rain last night, with no high-winds! Ah, a break...Our power went out pretty quickly - lots of trees around here. We were out for two days.Ever since some storm a few years ago, have a generator - 1000kw, I think, some generic 'Homesafe' brand or something. It's loud. I don't care - with pretty much everyone in the 'hood having a generator, it's pretty noisy outside when power goes out!Which does happen at least once a year, at least for a couple hours, and it seems at least one 24hr+ event per year too. If nothing else, the generator is worth it to save our fridge! With a family of 5, when the fridge has to be emptied, that's easily a few hundred in the trash. I think our gennie paid for itself the first 3-day outage we had a couple years ago!Biggest issue - we're on a well too, but our well pump is hardwired, so I can't connect it to the generator....so while we're mostly good, not being able to flush sucks the most (otherwise, a case of water generally carries us). SO each time I think, I gotta split that hardline and make it a plug...but I think it's 220v, and not sure my gennie can handle that...then I forget to check into it.No hot water kinda sucks but no biggie. Fridge, FIOS, TV, laptop, a floor fan, and a couple lights hooked up to the generator and we're pretty good to go...--Don't Lie - Be Kind - Realize your Potential
In our 17 years in this house, we had an outage of several hours from Isabel (most of those overnight) and 50 hours from the derecho.
quote: Derecho comes from the Spanish word for "straight" (cf. "direct") in contrast with a tornado which is a "twisted" wind. The word was first used in the American Meteorological Journal in 1888 by Gustavus Detlef Hinrichs in a paper describing the phenomenon and based on a significant derecho event that crossed Iowa on 31 July 1877
I'd never heard of this term before this storm. Interesting.

In a way it's a misnomer to call Lost one of TV's best shows—it's a fine show on the level of character and writing, but what makes it a classic is that it's the finest interactive game ever to appear in your living room once a week. An elaborate fractal pattern of intersecting stories concerning plane survivors on a not-quite-deserted island, a secretive international organization and a monster made of smoke, Lost only begins with the 60 minutes you see on TV. Its mysteries, clues and literary-historical allusions demand research, repeat viewing, freeze-framing and endless online discussions. And in a medium where executives assume that viewers will flee anything that remotely challenges them, Lost proves that millions of people will support a difficult, intelligent, even frustrating story—as long as you blow the right kind of smoke at them.

Watch: HRC President Joins Tippi McCullough in Arkansas
October 24, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Associate Director of Digital Media
Earlier this week, HRC President Chad Griffin joined Tippi McCullough, the lesbian Arkansas teacher threatened with termination after marrying her partner, to call on all fair-minded Arkansans to speak out against unjust discrimination.
McCullough recently resigned from her position as a teacher at Mount St. Mary's Academy after she was was threatened with dismissal if after marrying her partner of 14 years, Barb Mariani.
HRC stands by the loving, committed same-sex couple and calls on Mount St. Mary's students, teachers, donors, community members and all fair-minded Arkansans to join us.
Please sign the petition to Mount St. Mary President Karen Flake and Principal Diane Wolfe asking on them to commit to ending discrimination against LGBT employees and apologize to Tippi.
The community is behind us. Recent polling found that 86 percent of Christians believed the very tenets of their faith compelled them to support protections for LGBT people under the law—and American Catholics are leading the way in their support for equality.
Will you join us?
Below watch HRC President Chad Griffin and Tippi McCullough's remarks at Tuesday's press conference at South on Main Restaurant in Little Rock.

Resistant laugh,
Scope of my pride,
Honorable integrity
With a twist of wisdom and wit,
Is it hard to notice
The night turning over
To the peer of the morning sun
While the frozen ground is cracked
From a winter's chill
Like the chapped lips of a cigarette aficionado.
You beseech me
And I abide by your appeal
Like a doctor with a weak anesthetic,
Yet you stand outside, watching the sun rise
With a roll tucked between your pouting lips
Like a man under the pin of a shark's jaw
As the teeth clench and he uses his last breaths
To try to kill it before it kills him.
I can only say a prayer for you
As I've done so many times before,
Wishing for your comfort and happiness
Like a repetitive drone with a repetitive desire,
But it makes no difference to the eyes and ears of this world.
God will chop away at you
Like a surgeon running late for a dinner party,
And you will deteriorate
Like the awe inspiring pages of a classic novel's
First print. I will spare the expense
And carefully turn each page,
Reading each chapter under strict scrutiny
As a devout fan and honest critic,
Loving, appreciating and admiring every word
Until the day the binding
Loses its touch
And falls apart.
