Two words: Carlos Beltran.

In the words of Andrew Lockhart, “What the fucking fuck!”

I always think that Boras gets the sportswriters to carry his water at this time of year. Of course, he would never pay for a favorable story.
He is desperate to have Scherzer top Lester by a large margin and is willing to go all out to win the prize. Heyman et al will have a little something in their stocking.

I think Hal has some Scrooge McDuck in him.

If they sign Scherzer at that money it will make scream. Don’t keep HOFer Cano but give that $ to a pitcher with two good seasons? Please don’t!

[8] So you think Cashman is doing a good job?

[7] When George got suspended the Yanks had a chance to rebuild. Hal wants to do it again. Give him some time and save the draft picks.

[6] I would love to know what Cashman’s plan is because he seems to just be winging it.

[5] The previous post shows why complete rebuild can’t happen. Actually, it’s not necessary. They have good young players on the way and Cashman and Hal know that they need a new core to contend for years. They have a plan, give them a little time. The hardest thing to do professional sports is to contend while rebuilding.

[1] Great point.

Yeah, I could definitely live with a down year or two if it were the beginning of a really intelligent and thorough rebuild. The half-way thing is frustrating.

[3] I would love that trade, although I would miss Gardner terribly. I absolutely love Gardy!

You have to spin t somehow.

The Yanks still have some offeseason surprises in store.

Prediction: Scherzer signs for 8 years and 185 mil. Maybe not the Yamks but somebody will shell it out.

I wish they would build up the farm but they just don’t rebuild. When did they last throw in the towell and blow the team up like the Sox did?

I know a team like a newly owned Dodgers doesn’t come around often to bail a team out but you got to be open to it. Imagine if they got rid of ARod, Tex and CC and had to throw in Gardner as a sweetener to the Dodgers 3 years ago?

Is Cashman bipolar? He doesn’t trade for prospects in July – even when the Yankees have no chance of making the playoffs – because the Yankees are just not that type of team (his words!), then comes the off-season and he’s all nutty over getting a sandwich pick. And building up the farm system and making sure we are working to building another core four.

I’m all for building up our farm, but I just wish he would think like this when the Yankees are playing .500 baseball in July instead of being all delusional and acting like he has the 1995 Yankees roster that will fight through adversity to be a wild-card team to be reckoned with.

Is Cashman a DICK? YESSSSSS!!!!
