Overpaying is relative. Let&quot;s say 5 mil is 10% of the Royals available net income, while it is 1.5% of the Yankees. In this case the Yankees can afford to look at salary differently then other teams. So in their salary structure paying someone 20% more then market to get them, isn&quot;t neccessaily a negative. I won&quot;t argue Randy is key, and his age is a concern, but I still think he is in for a good season. Posada is no longer a key player. Giambi is a bonus. Damon, Jeter, A-Rod, Sheff, and Matsui are the core of the offense. Sheff has done nothing but produce in his MLB career, no reason to expect a major drop off.
