Another repeat of 2008 would be getting below avg production from SS, C, CF & 2B

Do you think with a staff of Burnett or Sheet, Wang and fill in who else you want.. We can get to 95 wins??..
———–
Considering they won 94 games with the same staff in 07, sure why not?

Upgrade the pitching all you want, but the 08 staff performed similar to the 07 staff. The offense didn’t. The offense was the reason the Yanks missed the playoffs.

To take a line from Theo.. Shoot for 95 wins and hope for the best in the playoffs.. Do you think with a staff of Burnett or Sheet, Wang and fill in who else you want.. We can get to 95 wins??.. Cashman’s only shot of the postseason for this organization is to make a trade for a stud pitcher.. Unless CC changes his mind.. I just don’t see us there.. And this is where my frustration with Cashman is.. He is not good at all with evaluating pitching.. And that my friend separates the men from the boys..We have a better chance with signing Tex and going after a stud center fielder and pray we win lots of 7-6 ballgames. Its starting to look more and more like another repeat of 2008.. Is this what Yankee fans want from their GM??.. I think you know my answer…

Welcome!

But, something tells me Cashman will and if by some miracle we find our way back into the playoffs with this M.A.S.H unit of pitchers, I would be interested to know if you will blame A-Rod or Mo and Wang again?..

You seem to fail to realize that the Yanks made the playoffs with this MASH unit of pitchers in 04, 05, 06, and 07. The reason the Yanks didn’t make the playoffs in 08 is because the Yanks scored 200+ runs less than the year before.

Wang had a pretty good 07. He blew up in the playoffs. Rivera had a pretty good 2004, saving 53 games, he blew 2 of them in the ALCS.

You just can’t tell with these things.

Yep, and Rivera doesn’t blow a save in the 01 Series, Wells back doesn’t act up in the 03 Series, Rivera doesn’t blow saves in games 4 & 5 of the 04 ALCS, ARod doesn’t GIDP in the 05 ALDS, Wang performs like he’s supposed to in the 07 ALDS, that may very well be the case.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to come to Cashman’s rescue.. But since you decided to bring this up .. I can easily sum your arguement this way.. If we had the pitching we needed we wouldn’t need to worry about A-Rod or Mo and for the matter Wang.. My point is cashman was left with the blueprint which by definition is something to build off.. Now, your arguement although good points, Cashman, has since our last postseason appearance done nothing but work against the ideology Watson and Stick left him. His moves and lack of moves has us back to a third place team!. He has wasted more money on pitchers who have blown up than any other GM in baseball history.. Look, if your comfortable with third place finish.. Then fine.. I know I’m not and signing guys like Burnett,Sheets or Lowe.. Well, I know Stick and Watson wouldn’t do it.. But, something tells me Cashman will and if by some miracle we find our way back into the playoffs with this M.A.S.H unit of pitchers, I would be interested to know if you will blame A-Rod or Mo and Wang again?..

With the blues prints these two find baseball minds left cashman, the yankees should had had at least 6 or 7 rings!!.

I am new this board and I truly don’t want to start off on the wrong foot, but from what i am reading here there are way too many Cashman supporters.. Now, before anyone goes on a rant, I am new so I am learning the rules as I go along.. But, as a Yankee fan, I am so sick of that pencil pushing pin head GM we have.. Just to be reminded of the past moves he has made keeps me up at nights.. Sleeping pills just don;t work for me knowing this story book franchise is running a shore with a GM who knows less about talent than I can hit a major league curve ball..Cashman has received way too much credit for the past that Gene Michael and Bob Watson put in place.. With the blues prints these two find baseball minds left cashman, the yankees should had had at least 6 or 7 rings!!.. But to the case on hand about AJ Burnett.. I wouldn’t offer that guy a minor league contract more less 5 years near 60 million.. Ben Sheets?? . What are the Yankees a team to care for a pitching MASH unit? Why not ask Mike Hampton if he would like a multi year deal too..What Cashman has to learn to do which every GM does is learn to trade.. .. Now that might be too much to ask from him. but after all, that’s what separates the men from the boys.. I say Yankee fans, enough is enough,, Either this guy has to go or we might as well be called the KC Royal of the east..

This is a problem when fans don’t see what happens in other markets(mediawise) or only listen to their own team’s stations.

The problem begins with them listening to sports radio…

The numbers are there for everyone to see. Doesn’t take a sports radio hack to look at the numbers or look inside the numbers and come to a reasonable conclusion.
