I don't see that rule of thumb being true of the next 10 years. Rangers have a better major league roster and a better minor league roster right now. And the Yankees' major league core is much older. Rangers come out on top by this measure and by the quality of life measure. They will probably be a close 2nd in dollars. Then the decision on how to weigh those come down to how Mr. and Mrs. Lee value them.

The Yankees have the money to change any situation over two years of free agency. Quality of life is in the eye of the beholder. I once lived in northern NJ outside NYC and loved it. That was coming from southern California. It doesn't take long past the GWB to be in the country. One plus the Rangers have is Lee being from Arkansas.
