I'm not even responding to that clown anymore.
Cashman is TERRIBLE. $200M/Year, One World Series in 12 seasons?

The thread is about Brian Cashman. Is he not in the FO?
I can't wonder aloud about who has the best FO in a thread about a general manager?

Again....who said he's the best?
I can go back nine years and say he's lived off of the work of Stick Michael and Bob Watson

They are still $30M above everyone else. That's another A-Rod.
fukk outta here. Plus, they are at $200M and there are nine teams total over $100M.

They're at $195 and decreasing and the next team up are the Phillies at nearly $175 mil. The goal is to get below the $180 mil threshold by next year, and despite the contracts they have they can get there without too much trouble.
I didn't say anyone said he was the best, OP said he was TERRIBLE.
Which isn't even entirely true. The fact the payroll is so high means he doesn't get much credit, but anyone who truly looks at the makeup of the team outside of the highest paid players can see he isn't terrible.
Wasn't Pettite asking for like $12 million, and the Yankees only paid him $2.5 mil? He got Colon who was good until the drug suspension. Held onto some good prospects.
I thought you said the yankees fo was the best. I was a little
when I read all the bs going on in here.for my money its St Louis.

Yeah, I hear about the goal every day. In fact, I first heard about this threshold probably more than two years ago and they haven't done a whole lot about it yet. It's a believe it when I see it statement in my view... though we both know the kids don't give nearly as much of a shyt about the team as their father did.

You can make the point without going to such an extreme that you undercut yourself.
Who are these dart-board all stars? Kuroda, the #3 starter from a non-playoff team? Nova, a homegrown, inconsistent pitcher? Russell Martin, a reclamation project? Andruw Jones, the definition of? A past his prime, part time playing Raul Ibanez? Robbie Cano, a homegrown all star? Curtis Granderson, a player who was scuffling and came at the price of two excellent prospects? The left side of the infield, who are collectively 745 years old? Pineda, who cost the Yankees their most valuable prospect and didn't pitch an inning? Freddy Garcia, who is Freddy Garcia? Andy Pettite, who was retired, then had a broken leg? Oh, you must be talking about Ichiro, who is old and broken down and had an obp under .300 for a good chunk of the season in Seattle. Ladies and gentlemen, the embarrassment of riches is impossible to comprehend.
This is probably the worst season to make that kind of claim. Cashman made a slew of savvy moves this season, and this team had no business winning the most games in the AL and making it to the ALCS.
The team is pretty much THE model of excellence and consistency in professional sports. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th highest payrolls this year didn't even make the playoffs.
That team plays in Los Angeles, California on a basketball court.

Depending on what Texas does, I might have to vote for them. The moves they've made recently have been great. From Beltre, to Darvish, to signing Holland below market value. That trade for Cliff Lee midseason.
Not offering a contract to Josh Hamilton.
These past couple of years have been the best for Cashman, imo. Soon as he got more freedom, he flourished.

I don't blame Cashman. He came into a can't win situation. That championship core was home grown. He came into a compete for titles every year environment. Now hes been put in a situation where he wiffs on the regular. Look at post season floppers Swisher and Granderson for example. Them two nikkas are responsible for our 2 best positional prospects for not being here. They didn't give Jackson a chance to develop because they wanted the win now player in Granderson. They trade away Montero and don't even try to sign Cespedes because they had a win now player in Swisher.
Instead of sign Cabrera and his offensive production.. they settle for Texeria and is consistent .250 batting. Then they don't bid for Chapman. So they don't want to take a chance on 2 stud cuban prospects because they made dumb moves in the past.
