The last year or so, even longer than that, Cashman has refused to trade players (Brett) and this year Serverino and Mitchell, among others.<br />Hopefully, Eppler will get the backing of the kids and have no more Tampa Cabal interference! He runs the show and Randy gets him the money for the players he needs...that is what his job is, not to shoot down deals, but get the money for them.<br />I really believe Cashman will come up with a new club somewhere and not have to deal with other GMs' the way he had to as the Yankee GM...over paying for most every players!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-64795892600832830662014-08-21T15:47:32.617-04:002014-08-21T15:47:32.617-04:00The problem with all the trades is we won't kn...The problem with all the trades is we won't know if they were Cashman trades or management driven trades. Probably never will know. And Cashman has done well recently, Solarte, O'Brien, etc for McCarthy and Headley were great trades. <br /><br />I am talking more about the 2000's Yankees.

Every GM has made bad and good deals, look to some of the deals made this year by other GMs'! They are not perfect by any means!<br />One thing that I found the hardest to do, was to be able to take orders that I knew were wrong. But, one learns to take orders before one can give orders that others may object to.<br />The first time I was given an order I knew was not only wrong but stupid, I found the person had fallen down and broke his arm. So, we received new orders, and I was reprimanded again.<br />Different time different place! Never happened again!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-83560415848910938742014-08-21T14:41:05.006-04:002014-08-21T14:41:05.006-04:00How many of those trades other than O'brian, w...How many of those trades other than O'brian, were his? And how many good (not great) players has he cut lose in trades, that didn't bring us a good or very good player? Jackson doesn't count because he didn't want to play with the Yankees and made himself a big pain in the ass. So they had to do something with him.<br />Pavano #2 he had nothing to do with our 3rd baseman, he had nothing to do with and the Cano thing he had no choice...orders are orders!<br />Not signing D-Rob is anyones guess as to why he was not offered a contract this year...! He has done more to build the Farm system than anyone else in the history of the Yankees. He brought the team into the Cyber era, hirerd Eppler and if Eppler takes over from him and does well, he will be happy for him...after all, Cashman has stuck around because he is A YANKEE!<br />Like now, the Yankees say IF the price gets to high, they are out of any deal for Rasney!<br />Bottom line is, we don't know who has pulled the strings on some of the bad or good deals.<br />It may be better for Cashman to go, giving Eppler the job and better for the Yankees IF Eppler gets control!ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-85580263368078151812014-08-21T13:13:55.584-04:002014-08-21T13:13:55.584-04:00He probably would, yes.

Eppler is more youth movement and build the farm where Cashman is build up the farm to AAA to trade them for 35 has-beens.

No more going over his head to make him sign someone he thinks is washed-up!<br />And yes, Eppler is Cashman all over again, except with Cashman going somewhere else, he should have a bit more negotiating power.<br />I commend Cashman for having Eppler as his assistant, only one confident in their own ability's, would do that.ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-14052002988463682992014-08-21T07:47:08.062-04:002014-08-21T07:47:08.062-04:00patrick:

Andrew Marchand from ESPN tweeted us last night that the Yankees are in as long as the bidding doesn't get too high. If money keeps us from another play, Cuban born or not, I think I may get a tad bit upset. Stay tuned for that. <br /><br />NEXT GM: Billy Eppler. He is a huge advocate for the farm system and building from within, hence why we almost lost him to the San Diego Padres. He's been Cashman's assistant forever now. He knows what is he doing and he is ready.

No, no, no way do they trade Brett unless it is for a very heavy bat or a front line pitcher.<br />D-Rob could be traded but then, how do they get to Dellin? Unless we have another Dellin somewhere they should sign D-Rob.<br />Dellin in the closers roll sounds nice but, if something goes wrong with him....then what?<br />Have another beer for me, maybe I should take up drinking, this team is just one of the top 10 all time worse teams in the last 50 years.ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-5817159895137019422014-08-20T21:53:07.851-04:002014-08-20T21:53:07.851-04:00LIKE AN SOS...it must be repeated.

He said as much to George and he was given what he asked for back then. But George soon got sick.<br />And we all know what happened after that.<br />No matter what fans think of Cashman, without him, there would be NO prospects in the farm system. Stick, Watson and Showalter got things going but it has been Cashman that has stood up and not jump at deals that would deplete our farm system.
