Just get a GM that can mix and match the pieces to tne puzzle and build a championship. And if Hal and Hank dont trust him enough to take his advice then dump him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526756658871915415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-27226359508589177652013-10-08T05:09:47.620-04:002013-10-08T05:09:47.620-04:00I love the Red Sox way of doing things.

I dont remember off the top of my head who specifically but I can remember a few reports, pretty sure Torri Hunter being one of them, where Cashman wanted a guy and Hank and Hal would not open up the purse strings.

The red sox "rebuilt" this offseason but still signed who they wanted but they did it smart, that is the way we should rebuild.Can Cashman do that? That's the 189 million dollar question now isnt it.

Bad thing is, I may not see the 28th WS win going this way. Personally, I'd like to go after any and everyone we need!<br /><br />Realistically, we need a couple of years to rebuild the right way...YOUNGER and WISER! Anyone think the Yankee base fans will except a rebuild? I think they would, if we have players that can play baseball the exciting/intense way of guys like Brett, "D" Rob, Cisco, Nova and let's put CC in there.<br /><br />Let's go back to the old "Billy Ball", use what talent you have the best way one can. Don't wait for something good to happen...it won't...go after it and make the other team play perfect baseball to beat you.<br /><br />We will still have some power, Zolo may be able to supply some also.<br />Let's go for it, use the farm and add a FA here and there<br />ken reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501114589046544682noreply@blogger.com
