Some should not, they can't seem to handle seeing many of their usual knee jerk anti-Cashman biased pronouncements, proclamations, evaluations and judgements regarding this team being rightfully pinned down after four months of bashing and sour grapes while the season was being played. True the season isn't over yet....and by the same token, this last three game sweep also hasn't doomed the team which has been the basic "board" theme - imo - which I've observed. (All 8 or 9 "regulars"?, lol) Relevant to Cashman being labeled and branded an "idiot" and Dombrowski being generally accepted here as some kind of genius...... .......Dombrowski/Cashman trades - Lowell trade was a winner..BUT - Cashman also traded for Brosius around the same time and I believe the Yanks did okay with Brosius at 3b. Granderson in return for Jackson, Coke and Kennedy. Cashman wins this trade FOR THE YANKEES, Grandy went on to be one of the Yanks' best all around players and a terrific HR hitter. Dombrowski "fleeced" someone else....not Cashman In two of the more high profile important off season "deals". 1) Cashman signs Miller instead of Drob. Miller- 38 IP, 1.66 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, 24 saves, 0 BLSVs Drob - 44 IP, 2.66 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 22 saves, 5 BLSVs Miller- cheaper price tag and Yanks also got a draft pick. And the record shows Dombrowski looks more like the GM who puts together "poorly constructed" teams as he couldn't figure out how to give his Tigers a championship bullpen. Last but definitely not least: 2) Cashman deals Greene to Dombrowski and receives DiDi Gregorius. Greene 6.88 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, banished to Tiger's "bullpen"..., lol. Gregorius - showing steady improvement at his craft of being a first time everyday SS. .261 BA, 4 errors since the end of May, total of 10. Final results of this trade aren't in - however, after more than four months of the season in the books, this has the earmarks of being a classic steal of a deal and could result in one of the biggest winners in recent Yankee history. It's all good to me- as long as the opinions and comments are written in the same language and duly recorded on paper for all and anyone to see. That'll do very nicely.
Another solid 0-7 for Ellsbury. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. But please give us another feel good post.
