...can you explain why he is so highly paid?...and Cashman being simply "a baby sitter" were your words, not mine...if in fact that's all he is, why do you constantly harp on him and hold him accountable for every bad thing happens to this team? ...sorry, but mere "baby sitters" don't have that much responsibility and they certainly are not paid that much.
...the dynasty teams of the 1990's and 2000 were a bi-product of the work done by Stick and Watson, not Cashman...the teams built by Cashman alone have the same number of WS titles as Dombrowski's teams. (1)
Billy Martin was not someone you hired to do a job then stuck your nose into his area of responsibility. Plus Martin had "Thurman the Enforcer" as his Team Captain. I like Girardi but there are times I think he's failed to grab someone by the stacking swivel and jerk knots in their tales.
...^^^but it was so much different back then... I think the way managers of today handle players as opposed to "back in the day" is due to the way players are now dealt with in general because of salaries and the CBA...even the most hard nosed managers nowadays are pretty much forced to handle things in a much more diplomatic way...not just Baseball, but in every sport.
Several seasons ago when Bruce Bochy (manager) decided to leave former 2 time Cy Young winner (Lincicum) off the PS roster because he wasn't pitching well it was Bochy's decision not Sabean's (GM). Cashman (GM) saying that when Sabathia comes back he's going right back to the rotation without any say from Girardi (Manager) is just plain bullshit to me.
^^^lol...how does inserting CC back into the rotation make the Yanx staff better and how does it increase their chances of winning?
