    This article was published in the NY Times on February 4th, 1998. It's a tell all of Cashman's own words, revealing he does not know talent when He see's it. ie,
    *** see below article, for specific paragraph and quote:

    When Cashman was asked yesterday about his strength as a talent evaluator, he quickly said:
    "It's not a strength as a talent. I'm an administrator. I'm a good listener. I would not pass myself off as an evaluator of talent."

    There we go, the truth revealed back in 98......

    I remember that article...... and back then I never
    liked him. Still don't. Early he relied heavily on
    Gene Michael. After Michael, Yankee organization
    was never transparent. With George, it was run like
    the Gestapo.......and the belief was 'we can afford to
    make mistakes' because we got the money.
    Cashman was just George's pimp. He would always
    pimp up all trades......to make George happy and
    get fans pumped. For every penny that man got,
    he sure couldn't make up for all the washed up
    players that never lived up to their ballooned
    contracts.....and it's still continuing!

    And this is why he should be shown the door.

    I note he didn't claim to be a good planner.
