...umm, that's not what you said...here, lemme help; "... the contract he was offered was a minor league one that came after the Yankees had already signed Johnson". ...like I said, Reynolds' offer was made in November...Johnson's was in December.
...if I prove it to you, will you stop? "The Yankees offered Reynolds a minor-league deal in late November, but was rejected and eventually, Reynolds signed with the Milwaukee Brewers.........." http://www.sportsmedia101.com/newyo...er-losing-mark-reynolds-to-milwaukee-brewers/
Stop what? You started this by admitting to be sarcastic and making me prove something I said back in December. Now if you want to get to the heart of the matter instead of going back and forth on this lets do so. As usual my issue is with Cashman and the moves he makes outside of just signing gigantic checks.
...you said you "had yet to see when Reynolds was offered his deal by the Yankees" ...so I decided to show you. ...and you also need to give the Steins their fair share of the blame.
Ok, fair enough but I also proved what I said about Reynolds. Anyway, Cashman blows and I wouldn't trust him to fix a sandwich let alone this roster.
...lol...guess that makes us even. ...Cashman is a figurehead manager and has been since he was hired...we really have no idea for sure what goes on within the upper management and exactly how much juice Cashman actually has. ...but I've also always believed that GMs should be actual Baseball people like Gene Michael and Bob Watson, et al. Before Cashman was given the job, he was basically George Costanza.
The problem is that I'm pretty sure he has a job for life. I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon regardless of what happens.
...I dunno, isn't his contract up after this year?...I can see them replacing him, but who knows. ...fwiw, I'm pretty disappointed with Johnson's play so far, on defense and offense...and I really thought Brian Roberts would be better too. ...also tired of Soriano swinging at everything and trying to hit a 5-run HR every time at bat.
Soriano was always a bad ball hitter. Remember the homer he golfed out of the park against Schilling in 2001? Vlad was the same kind of guy. When you get older though and your hands aren't as fast you have to shorten your swing. Soriano was way too long of a swing right now.
