Last season I was all over his grill regarding the rotation and Kei Igawa. By the end of the season, I’d softened some because I realized he was doing a difficult balancing act trying to keep the Yankees competitive while at the same time bolstering their farm system. Doing that in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Florida, Arizona and probably a dozen other places it’s much easier to accomplish. However, under the white hot lights of NY, it’s all but impossible, but he managed to do it, and he should be applauded.

This season has been a scuffle with devastating injuries to Posada, Matsui, Wang, I’m amazed we are even .500. The only things keepig us afloat are Mussina and the bullpen-a collection of low-priced no names-I love it.

Cashman made a couple of smart moves—especially Nady and Marte, and again, he’s kept us competitive without bankrupting the farm system.

I would show him the money. I like the path he has us on, and while we aren’t going anywhere this season, I have reason to be excited because of the moves he didn’t make.

Cashman should stay. There is no conceivable way to blame this season on anything Cashman has done or hasn’t done.

Seems like the past year and a half people were lauding Cash for holding on to prospects, not selling the farm. Then when he didn’t pull the trigger on the Santana deal, he took some heat for doing the same thing he earned praise for. Nobody could have predicted the seasons IPK and Hughes have had- why else would they have been so sought after? And Kei Igawa? I think we all know that was a reactionary move by the organization in response to Dice-K.

The guy is definitely in a damned-if-he-does, damned-if-he-doesn’t situation and I think he’s has made some cool headed, smart baseball decisions amidst the chaos.

Michael to be Assistant GM or something? He’s the one who built our best teams.
