wait...the yankees did this?

I think it's meant to be an improvement over Granderson vs LHP.

[JamesMogul]

I don't see this as an improvement over Gardner.

Exactly.. Fire Cashman now. This guy is the worst GM

We'll trade the Mets Ryan Langerhans for Niese and F-Mart.

do.................the Yankees actually have a budget this year? ?

nah

I'd like to see JP Richardi and Omar in the same room...
Both guys would be worse than having William Hung be GM

[JamesMogul]

Nope.. bad move after bad move. This isn't the first time he has made a HORRIBLE move at all. See Curtis Granderson, Xavier Nady, Ivan Rodriguez, Jason Giambi, Carl Pavano, Jared Wright, Gary Sheffield, and so on and so on

Granderson was a fine move. Rodriguez wasn't, well, any sort of move. Wasn't bad, wasn't good, just average, providing some depth. Giambi wasn't terrible. Sheffield was fine for two years but Cashman managed to actually get something for him when his time was up. Wright and Pavano were bad, yes... but, you'll see, Cashman didn't get full control of them until the past couple years - previously, the Steinbrenners had a lot of input into the roster. Now, it's Cashman's, and since then, he hasn't made poor FA moves like Pavano and Wright and the farm system and young talent has increased greatly.

This Winn deal, too, can't be described as "horrible." It's 2 million bucks, chump change, for one year. Even if Winn sucks, the Yankees lose nothing.

Cashman is one of the better GM's in the league. I don't know why you have such a terrible view of him.

You forgot to include the Javier Vazquez deal. Terrible move by the Yankees.

Oh, right. SO BAD!

A William Hung reference? Did I fall into a time warp tonite?

2 million bucks to a major league baseball team, especially the Yankees, is nothing.
