How about the things he does right….

He’s revamped the farm system and the Yankees have more young talent coming through the system than they have had in years.

Even this year, more younger players are helping them win games in forever.

They have the third best record in baseball so far after not making the playoffs last year.

Did Wang’s rehab get messed up? Absolutely.

Wang has always had shoulder issues. That goes back to his minor league days. Cashman didn’t cause his shoulder injury and you know it. That’s why they didn’t give him a long term deal, not his low strikeout totals.

They fired Neil Allen because they wanted to go in a different direction. That happens all over baseball every year. It wasn’t to stick it to Wang.

He’s got to be doing something right since the Yankees are playing great baseball and the additions from the farm system and the off-season acquistions he made are a big reason why.

Its one thing to point out the mistakes. Nobody is saying he’s perfect. To ignore the things he is doing right, which out number his mistakes is shortsighted and just plain wrong.

I understand now, sorry about your Cashman hate thingy.

He takes the hit if his boss, Hal Steinbrenner thinks he should, not what some fan says or thinks.

i’m not misstating anything.

he never liked his low strikeout ratio. he fired the guy wang needed as a coach and used long after he left the yankees.

he told wang to do nothing last winter and then never bothered testing to see if he was weakened from inactivity.

the hip weakness went undetected until arod’s therapist suggested it.

he then after all these mistakes rushes him back three starts early when joba gets hit by a line drive and then doesn’t have him used and sends him to the bullpen to lose his starter length.

then he starts him when he’s not really in shape to start which leads to shoulder problems.

could cashman have done anymore to make things difficult for wang ?

you are right that he makes mistakes like any other gm. i always thought the yankees deserved someone better that just any other gm.

As far as Scranton – I went there and was very disappointed. This morning I asked the clerk at the information center there about prior history of problems with rain. She told us that they had never had that problem before, when the Phillies’ had the AAA Red Barons there. According to her, this past month was the wettest in memory, and this issue had popped up for the first time this spring. They had 2 1/2 inches of rain Friday night.
