Not sure Hal has it right |
| Yesterday, in a 3-man meeting with Girardi and Cashman, Hal Steinbrenner was quoted as stating, "This is New York and the fans deserve a team with marquee players." I hope I am misunderstanding what he said, because if not, I'm afraid he has the completely wrong approach. I was hoping we were past this with amount of freedom that was given to Brian Cashman in the last few years. His approach has focused on retaining home-grown young talent and building from within. This is a complete contrast to the George Steinbrenner approach which failed to deliver a championship between 1979 to 1995. Big name players were brought in time and time again. But exciting players did not equate to championships, and championships are what it's all about. I'll gladly take a roster with names like Scott Brosius and Chuck Knoblauch and Paul O'Neill any day. They aren't necessarily the biggest names or the guys who put up the MVP numbers each year, but they are the guys who do the things that win games and more importantly, bring world championships home. I wish Hal was more focused on the 27th championship and less worried about marquee players. Labels: Cashman, Girardi, Hall of Fame, Strategy |

The plan may be to work with what they have |
| It appears, at least based on public comments, that the Yanks may really be cooling off on Santana. Not only that but ownership may be willing to concede 2008 while having high expectations for the future beyond next year. Yesterday's New York Times quoted Hank stated "I hope we can challenge this year, and I think we can. But the future looks even brighter." Not exactly a confidence-inspiring battle cry for next season, but I think I understand it. For the first time in history, someone with the last name Steinbrenner is not going to sacrifice young, potential talent for a chance at an high priced, already-established player. Considering the potential in Hughes, Chamberlain and Kennedy, it's probably not a bad idea. Labels: Pitching, Strategy, The future |

The turnaround continues |
| I am becoming a true believer when it comes to Brian Cashman and the new direction of the Yanks. Don't get me wrong - I'm nowhere near ready to start raising the 2007 World Champions banner yet. Having suffered through the pain of the last six postseasons, I'll celebrate when the final out is made and the Yanks are the only team left standing. As a great Yankee catcher once said, It ain't over till it's over. However, in my opinion, they are making great decisions in this offseason and to this point, it does not appear to be a coincidence. Rather, it appears to be a deliberate series of decisions which, when added up, appear to be a new strategy which I absolutely love. They are continuing to dump the overpaid contracts and investing in youth, pitching proven players and their farm system. The latest proof - Randy Johnson and $2 million for Luis Vizcaino, three young pitching prospects and a young infielder. Personally, I would have been happy to see Randy and his $16 million salary just go away, but to get all this current and potential talent for him is pure brilliance. For the life of me, I have no idea why Arizona would go for this deal. Randy is 43 years old. I just hope that the money that was freed up will not go towards Clemens. Now that Igawa is officially a Yankee and Barry Zito is off the market, the Yanks probably have acquired all the external pitching they need. Labels: Cashman, Pitching, Strategy |
