You have to remember that what the Twins wanted from us and what they got from the Mets were two totatly different talent packages. Everyone always seems to...
He is 40, so I'd go year to year at this point. If he wants to come back I'd say you have to give him the courtesy of signing him. He had an awful time early...

If I remember correctly they came down from all 4. It might have been Cano, Cabrera, and Kennedy, which based off the years they had this year, makes Cashman...

I agree with Dice-K, that was a ton of money. Too bad Igawa didn't work out. And if it were any other team but the Yankees eating the season to develop the...

I didn't KNOW Hughes was going to get hurt, but I wasn't willing to bet the farm on someone who had been injured (Hughes,) someone who was vastly unproven...

Lester was given the opportunity to succeed, and he succeeded. Kennedy/Hughes were given teh same opportunity, and they never won a game. Its not the yankee...
I don't blame Cashman for having high hopes for Hughes and Kennedy, because I too was willing to give them a shot last year, though even then I questioned not...
... No, not necessarily. Hughes and Kennedy were not ready this year, but they figure to be excellent big-league pitchers. If we can get something out of ...
I still think it's too early to give up on Igawa. He has always put up good numbers at Triple A, and he did show flashes for the Yanks, such as that impressive...
I stil think Hughes will be a good major league starter if he stays healthy. Kennedy I'm not so confident in. But really, how many young pitchers without...
I would think the Yankees will go hard after Texeiera (like Giambi in '02), and probably Lowe as well if Mussina and/or Pettitte don't come back. ... the ... ...
They got rid of Torre, now he's in the postseason and Yankees are not. It had to made them think twice about getting a new GM.... imo, they got it all...
Thats also true. But that just proves the pitcher's inability to handle the pressure or maintain poise. Thats another weakness for the pitcher, not the...
We can cross our fingers, no? I hope all these question mark pitchers?come back strong, but I'm worried about hitting as well. Remember that big chunk of the...

I'm not convinced Torre would have been all that much better. I'm no expert on the NL West, it's probably the division I know the least about, actually, but I...

I think you're right- what I was worried about was having them all come up at the same time. I'm pretty sure the deal for Santana could have gotten done...

The Yankees made the mistake of relying on two rookies to make up 2/5ths of the rotation this year, they won't make that mistake next year. Hughes and Kennedy...
There are too many other bullpen options to consider him one. Plus, they don't use him in relief at AAA. He's not on the 40 man roster anymore, which says a...
But they didn't produce good years. Yes, hindsight is 20/20. But Hughes and Kennedy didn't win a MLB game, and Horne was terrible in the minors and now needs...
I agree, but at the time, there were a whole lot of questions about Santana's arm as well. Didn't he have command and speed issues at the end of 2007? I seem...
IMO, the outcome is all that matters, i dont think you can separate all the parts from the whole. Ie I dont think you can say the cause of it was the...
Igawa even as a back of the rotation guy was a stretch. Ted Lilly was available at the time, wanted to be a Yankee, and had proven he could pitch in the AL...
I disagree. The signing was at least two-fold. One to get a front of the rotation pitcher. Two to get into the Japanese market in a big way. Dice-K is one of...
I'm with you on this Kristin & I used to be with George about the World
Series but since we haven't won in 8 long years I would be happy now just to
get in the...
And pulling him from games sure helps keep that loss record down...hasn't anyone else seen how many times he was pulled in the 4th?? He's an over-rated,...
Will both Hughes and Kennedy be back? That remains to be seen. AJ, I'm guessing stays in Toronto where's he's happy and after they raise their offer to him....
Igawa is no longer on the 40 man roster. Any team can try to claim him this off-season, but would be responsible for the remaining years of his contract. If...
