the bolded part all depends on what capacity George is running the team. I honestly hope Cash stays in place, because even though the product on the field blows, the pipeline looks good. If all goes well, we should have a rotation with 4 homegrown players in it by 2009 and the other may be a guy by the name of Santana. If George fires Cashman and decides he has to go for one more ring before he croaks, then we will be in for another long line of yankee dark days.
And if we have a couple down yrs it may take all those fake fans off the goddamn bandwagon. The ones who are clamoring for Barry Zito and Gil Meche. Sorry, wont buy it.
Long term, we are in some seriously solid shape. Short term, we should have been good. But we got old.
