Guest Guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 FOR THE RECORD - With CASHMAN the Yankees have won 4 World Series Titles. No other GM can claim that over the last 14 years ... He has made excellent moves - especially over the last few years - and learned from frivilous spending signing / mistakes that he made earlier on. AJ being the biggest red mark over the last 5 years. Granderson - CC - Matsui - Damon - Swisher - Martin all have worked out well. All great character guys. Expect Pineda will net great results as well.

Guest baseball expert Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 FOR THE RECORD - With CASHMAN the Yankees have won 4 World Series Titles. No other GM can claim that over the last 14 years ...

Granderson - CC - Matsui - Damon - Swisher - Martin all have worked out well. All great character guys. Expect Pineda will net great results as well. Cashman has only won one world series in the last 10 years with the biggest payroll by a wide margin. Granderson was not a steal, he gave up a 20 game winner, a yound starting centerfielder, and a very good hard to find lefthanded reliever in Coke. CC he just oubid everybody. Swisher was a salary dump that the Yankee payroll could accomodate. Cashman overpaid dearly for Arod, we are stuck with that contract for years. AJ was a bad signing. Kei Igawa was a miserable signing and would have gotten many people fired. Cashman mishandled Joba Chamberlain. Kevin Brown was a bad signing. Posada's last deal was one year too long hurting the Yanks last year. Nobody would have given Posada that 4th year. The Jose canseco waiver deal was a blunder. The Javy Vasquez trade was idiotic. The trade with Pittsburgh for Nagy and Marte was a loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 And yet more World Series titles, more WS appearances, more Playoff apperarances, more WINS than any team in MLB during his tenure. Agree that the "JOBA rules" (and Hughes for that matter) were wrong - felt that way from the start - but was that really Cashman's decision ? I subscribe to the Nolan Ryan school of pitching. As for the ARod deal - look at the Pujols deal - that's the way it's done if you want a superstar these days (not that I agree with that either). That said - expect a great season from ARod this year (you heard it here first). Igawa, Brown, Vasquez - all were mistakes and lessons were learned - but don't act like every other team hasn't had similar deals go awry (ask the Mets or the Sox). All in all - you can't argue with the overall #s - just would have liked to have seen another WS title or two - but we Yankee fans are admittedly pretty spoiled.

Posada's last deal was one year too long hurting the Yanks last year. Nobody would have given Posada that 4th year. The Jose canseco waiver deal was a blunder. The Javy Vasquez trade was idiotic. The trade with Pittsburgh for Nagy and Marte was a loser. 1. Granderson deal: I think it is a wash and everyone has had benefits, Coke is back this year so we'll see what he still has and hasn't. 2. CC: He outbid everybody on plenty of guys, CC was a good signing and Cashman has to get some credit here. 3. AJ: Not a horrible signing, not a good signing either. Paid too much. AJ had a decent year in 09 and pitched well down the stretch. After that, he was AJ. No real surprises to me there but considering the market in that offseason, CC and AJ were the only real pitchers out there and AJ benefitted completely. 4. Kei Igawa and Javy Vasquez are the ultimate "Cashman sucks" trump cards, and Cashman played the Vasquez card twice. 5. Canseco?? cost nothing, hurt nothing, you're reaching 6. Mishandled Joba?? He had nothing to do with it. He had less control then Torre did over that. Personally, with Torre's track record of blowing out his bullpen before the postseason I really don't blame Levine etal for putting them in. Barring the midge flies episode the Yanks would've been on their way to the show that year. Steinbrenner is the one that wanted him to be a starter after that, they should've done the obvious from the beginning but Cashman has nothing to do with any of that. 7. Marte deal is not a loser. They didn't get full value but did get a ring out of it as Marte was lights out in the 09 run. Plenty of GM's wanted Marte. At this point, I can't remember what they gave up if anything (Karstens?? Please the guy couldn't pitch in the AL East). 8. Posada's 4th year?? What did it hurt?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joe Lefebvre Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Great summary my dentally challenged cohort. BTW : #28 was old Joe minus the moniker (as you might have deduced). Ah yes - Baseball is in the air ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
