When you think about it, we as fans know what we know from the newspapers and stats (I like to watch and see if stats/sibermaticts(?) add up to what I see) and reports of the (So Called) experts.<br />We sit at home or Bar watching the game and yell at the tube (Manager really) for something he did in the game...like pinch-hitting for the best clutch hitter at the wrong time. But we don't know our hitter jammed his finger in the outfield in the last inning. So, it is us that made the wrong decision, not the manager...what one doesn't know can hurt you even in everyday life.<br />Not saying I am sad to see him go...it was time to change things up. This is going to be a team of young players not the vets he has been use to...he is old school (play the vets). I think...I know, I am old school but I use the best people for the situation at hand.

You want to see an example of "the grass is always greener on the other side"? Watch a conversation about the Yankees.

Simply stating...I wasn't slamming Cashman Reed. Simply stating an opinion that this was now his team, and wants a manager that's on the same page as him. Don't you think that if this was a decision that was a couple years in the making, according to Hal, that they would have a better idea of who they Wanted? It seems to me that this is the biggest hodge-podge of random candidates that I've ever seen.

Thus, when they walked out they turned it over to Cashman and "King George" ok'ed it.<br />As you all may remember, George ran the team his way...by trading away all young talent and making our Farm System the bottom feeder of the baseball world. Hal/Hank took over and it was impossible to make any deals without getting the ok from the front office.<br />Then a funny thing happened, (I believe) Cashman got through to Hal...if you want to save money and get under the Cap use the players down on the farm. So, about 4+ years ago we saw the start of the new direction with the Farm System. People being let go and new blood coming in at the minor league level.<br />Now, drafting, along with some damn good trades, we have the makings of a dominant team for the <br />future.<br />It was time for Joe to go, as far as having a yes man or Cashman having an Ego trip try this on for size...Hal is the BOSS Cashman now works with him and does what he is told. Working with your Boss is not the same as doing everything you are told without discourse. <br />No Ego, just sound baseball. Cashman takes the heat for his decisions.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-7469459479923025742017-11-18T19:01:27.270-05:002017-11-18T19:01:27.270-05:00I agree with you Levin.

He made some good trades recently and the drafting has been a little better, but still no ace has ever been drafted and developed by the elf. This group of people that were interviewed made my stomach cringe. If elf wants this to be his team then make himself the manager. I think when this blows up in his face he will blame the manager and get a reprieve.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-47815840171215777442017-11-18T16:43:15.554-05:002017-11-18T16:43:15.554-05:00I think they do have a plan.

This is clearly his team, and I think he wants to make every single decision associated with it. I'm not saying it's a good plan, but I think it is the plan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687487174545518045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-83744582104339657062017-11-18T15:34:09.905-05:002017-11-18T15:34:09.905-05:00My wife and I totally disagree with your opinion o...My wife and I totally disagree with your opinion on the search for Girardi's replacement. In our opinion, the decision not to resign Joe was a mistake that was rooted in ego; ironically, not analytical. After making the decision not to resign Joe -apparently during the season according to Hal - it is inconceivable that they did not have a specific plan in place to sign his replacement. Now, we are told that they are putting candidates through a "car wash of interviews". Please tell me they had a plan before embarking on this disaster !!! The candidates they are entertaining have either no, little or marginal managerial experience. Translation: Unproven & Unqualified! Joe was a winning Manager (200 games over 500).And he never embarrassed himself or the organization in the media. Cashman sure did! The decision not to resign Joe was a mistake. If the Yanks go 45 - 55 in the first 100 games, Hal & Cash should avoid coming to the Stadium. Cashman sucks.Bisuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280286379165421080noreply@blogger.com
