Re: Brian Cashman Performance Thread 2.0
The issue here is not the trade for Granderson. The issue is the trade for Vasquez. Vasquez was never a stellar AL pitcher and clearly has issues pitching in NY. It may only be a small sample size this year, but we need to look at his last go around here, as well. Trading Viz for this mess is a trade that we will regret as much or more than when the Yanks traded Mike Lowell for Ed Yarnall and Todd Noel.

Re: Brian Cashman Performance Thread 2.0
Also, Vazquez's problems have nothing to do with being in the AL or in New York, and everything to do with the fact that he's lost 3 MPH and a ton of movement from last year (and before).

Re: Brian Cashman Performance Thread 2.0
Well, this thread is a predictable snowstorm of overreaction and short-sighted bull................, specifically from posters who rarely post. As if the streaks in baseball is an anomaly and everybody does great the whole season. I guess Andrew Jones and Vernon Wells are back to being stars and big producers in this league as well....Let the guys finish a season before making a determination.
Congratulations and thank you for number 27, Yankees !!!!!!!!!!!!!. 1 game at a time to 28. C'mon, Yankees.

Right now the only good thing I can say is we have a LHP that can top out at 97 mph and a Robinson Cano w/ more fire for Melky Cabrera.

Re: Brian Cashman Performance Thread 2.0
I just heard the Tigers have already retired Austin Jackson's number. Due to his hot start, he's clearly the greatest player in the history of their franchise. Sorry Al Kaline and Ty Cobb....you got nothing on AJax.

In related news, government authorities have produced indisputable evidence that Brian Cashman is solely responsible for the oil slick now threatening the Gulf Coast and even the east coast of Florida. "If only the Yanks had held on to AJ," says assistant FEMA director Nat Sponge, "none of this would have happened."
Standings: Big Inning 32-16; Blue Cut 27-21; Shoo Fly 26-22; Husk 22-26; Frank Pierce 21-27; Iowa City 16-32.

I mean there ought to be some bad ones too...Javy for example. But that move won't matter. Because come playoff time, he probably at best will be our fourth starter (assuming everyone is healthy).
Who could have thought this was going to happen? From sub 2 to sub 9 ERA? Serioulsy?
When these moves were made...everyone was ecstatic. Even Red Sox fans were saying, "highway robbery".
I think what cash really needs to do is fire Eiland.

Re: Brian Cashman Performance Thread 2.0
I can be very critical of Cashman at times. However, I am more than willing to admit that he was correct to bypass dealing for Santana in '08, and keeping Hughes, and I was totally off-base. Santana, while still a very good pitcher, already appears to have diminished stuff in year three of his contract. Hughes' star is clearly on the rise, and he has looked like a budding ace thus far in 2010. If we had Santana, we would not have CC, and the rotation would probably have been weaker overall.
If CC, AJ, Pettitte, and Hughes continue to pitch as they have, the Yankees will be extremely difficult to beat in 2010. We just have to do something with Javy, because this can't continue.

also, there was no way in the real world we were going to get matsui, having tabbed damon the priority and given how quickly hideki signed. unless you think it would have made sense for cashman to vastly overpay for damon, then lock up matsui, and not worry about how old and slow your team has gotten ...........
