have they won the WS 2 out of the last 4 years? Yea… so really, i guess those contracts are working out just fine.

that’s like saying the Irabu signing was a good one because the Yanks won the WS 2 of 3 years he was with us.

same with last year’s Gagne trade.

just because a team does well doesn’t mean the move was inherently a good one.

The Yankees have made the playoffs 10 consecutive times since Cashman has become GM. Now I’m not here to say he’s perfect, but to look at the team on June 11 when they’re 5 games behind in the loss column and start again with this “disappointment” shit is a little much.

‘yep, the Matt Clement, Edgar Renteria, Julio Lugo, JD Drew, and Dice-K Matsuzaka contracts have all been PERFECT, haven’t they?’

have they won the WS 2 out of the last 4 years? Yea… so really, i guess those contracts are working out just fine.

that being said, these writers are just simply digging for material to write. if yankees fans remain patient, they’ll begin to see the fruit of Cashman and co.’s labor, like MJ said, in the next 6 to 18 months.

Uh, Clement was fine until he was hit in the head by that line drive and then blew out his shoulder in about eight different ways. Drew is earning his money this year and I’d say that just about every team in the majors would find a spot in the rotation for a guy with a 2.5 ERA and .195 BAA. It is obvious though that Theo has a blind spot for SS.

Brian Cashman has not been as efficient developing young arms as Beane, and he hasn’t been as smart about spending tons of money as Theo Epstein. That leaves the Yankees hovering around .500, and leaves us to shrug our shoulders at what comes next.
===========================================
What does that even mean? Since the well-publicized agreement between Cashman and Steinbrenner took place, Cashman and his staff have stocked the minor leagues with pitching prospects galore. Filip Bondy apparently wanted all of them to come up YESTERDAY, neglecting the fact that they’re all slowing coming up over the next 6-18 months.

And as far as his bit on Theo is concerned…yep, the Matt Clement, Edgar Renteria, Julio Lugo, JD Drew, and Dice-K Matsuzaka contracts have all been PERFECT, haven’t they?
