Brian Cashman Performance Thread 2.0

[JavyVazquezIsSick]

I'm sure he has access to rooms in the city when he needs them but lots of people make that commute every day.

Re-reading this. Doh. I thought he lived in Darien, NY.

Derek Jeter might think Brian Cashman is the Grinch, but New York Yankees general manager is actually going to be one of Santa's elves.
Cashman is scheduled to rappel from the 350-foot Landmark Building in Stamford, Conn., Friday and Sunday as part of the Stamford's Heights and Lights event as a celebrity guest elf.
Wearing a full harness and dressed in an elf costume, according to Stamford Downtown president Sandy Goldstein, Cashman will jump off the 22-floor building. There is no protective netting, a spokesperson for the event said.

I'm guessing there will be a lot of new avatars on this site after that event.

I love this quote from him:

"I've been leaving milk and cookies for Santa for some time now, but this year I wanted to take a more active role in assisting him," Cashman said. "As an elf, you have to be willing to build toys, wrap presents, prepare reindeer for flight, or rappel off buildings for Santa. I take my role as an elf seriously because there are a lot of children out there counting on him."

And who says this man did not learn a little showmanship from his mentor, George the ring-master?

[flymick24]

[Jax Teller]

[Jax Teller]

mmmm chicken tenders

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I'm not an expert on this ins and outs of signing players, so...a team can still sign a player they non-tendered, right?

Yes, correct. By non-tendering a player, that player becomes a free agent, but can still be signed by the original team.

I hope he looks into Cust, JP Howell, Jenks, Navarro, Milledge

whaaaaa?

A.J. Pierzynski just got 8 million for 2 years after playing the last 9 years at an offensive level BELOW what Cervelli put up last year, and you're looking to sign Navarro?

*brain explodes*

I heart J.P. Howell, but shoulder surgery is very risky. Hope the Yanks give him a look.

I have never seen a 2seam fastball from a lefty like his in my life.

[yankee82093]

I'm also a big fan of Howell. Dude has a 12 swingstr% rate with an 86 mph fastball, which is crazy.

No question in my mind that Theo is insanely jealous

[Roberto Kelly]

He looks like Michael Scott.

Is Cashman wearing a wig?? That's definitely not HIS hair.

Is Cashman wearing a wig?? That's definitely not HIS hair.

From the NY Times:

Brian Cashman’s workday began at 5:30 a.m. on Friday, when he arrived at the Landmark Building here wearing a skull-and-crossbones bandanna and a wig of spiky blond hair.

“It’s just my alter ego,” Cashman said. “It helps me get into the mode. There’s a side of me that likes to have fun.” That side of him persuaded Cashman, the general manager of the New York Yankees, to indulge his inner adrenaline junkie in a daredevil descent.

Thanks. A true ninja.
