Holding Back

It appears the Yankees are choosing to make the off-season rather uneventful, making less spectacular signings and avoiding delving out big money to big players.  After spending over 400 million dollars in free agency last season them watching watching as those investments yielded no return, one can understand the teams hesitation.  It makes sense for the Yankee to hold off on creating contract logjams on their roster.  The fleeting farm system needs a big boost in major league ready talent. Continuously getting wrapped up in large contracts will cause that system to be ignored even further than it already is.  The true test for the Yankees will be if they can commit to this plan of action without being tempted to make any moves that could prove costly in the long run
