Forgive me if I believe the Yankees won their championships under the guidance of Stick Michael and Bob Watson.<br /><br />The farm system was strong under Michael and its weak under Cashman, so who should I blame? He has had an open check book and been able to buy his way out of mistakes in the past. Now he can't because we aren't the only team flush with cash. You have seen that the last two years with the bottom feeder trades he has made. Gardner is a decent player overall. Good signing I don't see it for a punch and judy hitter that isn't a good bunter, even though there are those on here who think he is. A terrible baserunner an excellent defender with a weak arm. Tell me my assessment is wrong on Gardner's tools? He did start to hit a little with power last year but the guy is a 260 hitter so please tell me why I should justify that is a good signing?

I'm just not going to blame Cashman for everything that's wrong with the Yankees. You're 100% right that Cashman has made some absolute bone head moves. Anybody that's been a GM for the same team for 15 years is bound to. He's also made some very good moves that have sustained a level of success that baseball rarely sees. Missing the playoffs 3 times in 20 years is a pretty good track record.

Especially for a position that requires "power". (7 left fielder's had more homeruns last year according to cbssports.com) Eovaldi can win 20 games next year and would still be a trade that was lost by Cashman somehow.
