Bill Livesey in essence takes the Lakey role. Both men are very talented. Pat? Wouldn't shock me if Cash talks to him. Arbuckle? Love to have him but I suspect he will have better offers this off-season. Vinny,

I don't really know much, far as how front offices/scouting departments are structured. Tho, when you see talent like that available, you want it to move to your favorite team. yankee 21: when had mentioned Gillick & Arbuckle, i had intended to in the context of advisory roles.

Two of the players who make 5-6 a year are Tom Gordon and Kyle Farnsworth (i'd take Marte over both in a heartbeat).

The Yankees are clearly 2nd rate in the FO compared to all I have heard of CLE, BOS, TB and PHIL, to name a few. Rather than focusing on any individual (Gillick, Arbuckle, other) they need to focus on beefing up the decision making/fact finding infrastructure. Only if they have a commitment to doing this, will they know who makes a good fit. Cashman has a good vision IMO,, but he needs help in executing it.

You will see few guys giving you a big bang for that buck. Historically, non-closers are a fragile and uneven bunch. That kind of money can be put to better use in filling out the roster.
