October 21, 200421 yr Whose going to take the heat for the Yankees inability to close the deal for the 4th straight year?
October 21, 200421 yr Cashman...although none of it is his fault. Steinbrenner should have never thrown all that money at Brown and Vasquez. That and Tanyan Sturtze is in the Yankees bullpen. Enough said.
October 21, 200421 yr Gone: Kevin Brown Javier Vazquez Tony Clark Orlando Hernandez (no idea why he didn't pitch Game 7) The whole pen besides (Sturtze, Gordon and Rivera) Maybe: Cashman M. Cairo Ruben Sierra P. Quantrill

Cairo Ruben Sierra P. Quantrill 598113[/snapback] Man the Yanks rotation is such a mess. They all weren't worth half their contracts with the exception of El Duque and Lieber. Where would they move these guys and their contracts to? They'll get Beltran, Delgado and possibly Percival. Gordon can't handle the pressure, they need to find a more reliable set-up man for the postseason. What's the status on Giambi coming back and being anything close to what he once was? Sierra has to stay, he's making peanuts and is a pretty clutch guy, very inexpensive . Cashman will probably get fired but will be replaced by someone who is just like him. George just wants someone he can treat like a pawn and Cashman is just that and his successor will be just that. He'll only get fired just to 'shake' things up. The Yanks really need a legit front of the line starter like Randy Johnson, that will definitely take them the extra mile.
October 22, 200421 yr I'm hearing rumors that ARod may be dealt, presumably for very good young pitching. Sounds like a fantasy trade, but I think that the Yanks would (right now) have a hard time passing up ARod for someone like Prior Beckett Wood or Schmidt. About 1% likely to happen, but they are the Yankees.

A reduced priced Vazquez would make any team's GM mouth water. I honestly think some players aren't meant to play on the big stage and Javy is one of them.
October 22, 200421 yr Kevin Brown and Javier Vasquez will be gone for sure. Tom Gordon will probably join them out the door, and I wouldn't be shocked if they axed pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre just for the heck of it.

They owe him money an he was overused all year. What he needs is more help so he doesn't have to play every other game.
October 22, 200421 yr Hey, if Mel Stottlemeyer is going, maybe the marlins can get him. He is a good pitching coach, or atleast he's VERY expirienced.
October 22, 200421 yr Gone: Brown, Rivera, Loaiza, Giambi In: Beltran, Delgado, Pedro* that A-Rod thingsounds interesting, i'd do it in a second, especially if you're gonna get Beltran to replace him *this is totally unfactual and not true at all. Just imagine Pedro in a yankee uniform

October 24, 200421 yr Author Steinbrenner apparently has already met with Cashman and told him his job is safe ... for now. The decision could be revisited during their winter organizational meeting.
October 25, 200421 yr I think Torre is going to bite the bullett on this one. He's got to be tired of George, but he'll say he wants to spend more time with his family. The Yanks want to keep Randolph and this may be the only way they can.
