Your team still sucks. LOL! Anyone want anyone from my team? I haven't made a trade in a few days.

My money was enroute. Don't worry, I'm in for cash. If I win, I'm donating to charity most of my winnings.

I know I'm new to the league, but there should be an entry fee for all teams. This way, if someone doesn't keep up with playing, you know they lost their money.

Is Average Joe even in the league? I've sent him a few emails, not only no response, but pretty much no activity in the last few weeks.

To each his own. It all depends on what kind of season Arod has. Plus, I'm in the playoffs. It's a crapshoot at that point.

Oh my goodness. You know why players can do well in AAA? Because anyone who is any good is in the majors. Look, I think Kennedy will have a Scott Kamenicki or Dave Lapoint kind of career. Serviceable. But we had a chance at the best pitcher in the game for this guy. Now, as a GM, making a mil a year...you are supposed to be able to analyze pitching. This guy hasn't, because all he does is read scouting reports and punch in numbers. He doesn't have a feel for it. It's much easier to predict hitters than pitchers, but all it takes is number crunching. Finding pitching talent is another thing altogether. Go check out my post about fixing up the Yankees I made last offseason. By no means am I an expert on pitching [my baseball stopped at high school], but I would have done a shitload better job than this moron. Someone here who is a Hughes/Kennedy lover....please...enlighten me. Just what do you see about these guys you love? Umm...isn't that what they did? I pray to God they get their chance. Next spring training. We would have been playing the Red Sox at home if we didn't blow at the beginning of the season last year. Enough with the youthful circle jerk.

Cashman has no idea about pitching. Zero. Worse than zero. Yankees had a chance at Beckett and Pedro. He took Pavano. He could have had Lilly instead of Igawa. Lilly was dying to come to New York. Could have had Dice-K instead of Igawa. Signed Farnsworth. Could have traded for Santana. Signed Contreras. Acquired Loiaza. Exactly who has he picked up as a lefty in the pen in the last ten years? Kevin Brown. Jeff Weaver. Randy Johnson. Got Vazquez. Traded away Vazquez. Then he got better. Picked Ohlendorf over Micah Owings. He had his PICK. f***ed that one up too. You want to seriously know how I knew that the Santana deal would haunt the Yankees? Because Cashman didn't get him. He can't figure it out. He doesn't have an eye for the game, because he didn't even play wiffleball growing up. STOP READING PRESS CLIPPINGS. WATCH THE DAMN GAME. I hope to death I'm wrong. I just don't see what to like. Hughes has a power pitcher's control..but not a power pitcher's arm. He has a slow, sweeping curve, but has difficulty locating it. Kennedy throws an 88-89 MPH fastball. Control is not there. Doesn't have a strong secondary pitch. Don't see how this kid will succeed. There is a saying from baseball scouts about Yankee prospects. The closer they get to the major league level, the less the Yankees like them. If you want the wool pulled over your eyes, your choice. Not me.

26 to 6, ORS is right here. The team of the fan has very little to do with this. Life and death is one thing, and our rivalry here is another. Don't put them in the same boat, buddy.

I would run over Youk of the Nation to get to the Youkette. LOL!

Correction needs to be made here. Kilo thought I gave up Arod and Sheets. In that case, I'd be ORS's butt monkey.

I am so on the fence with this deal ORS. Dammit.

This is just terrible.

Cashman pinned his hopes and his job on two young pitchers that nearly everyone here was ripping me for saying they should be traded [at least one of them] for Santana. Now that the two pitchers are in the minors and won't be seen anytime soon, it's time to take to task the man who has killed the Yankees. Cashman. Cashman took over from Watson and rode the coat tails of a phenomenal team to "win" 3 World Series in which he had little to do with. Since 2000, he hasn't done anything of significance. Even this off-season, Gene Michael, who is in my opinion the absolute best person in the Yankee front office that I've seen in my tenure as a Yankee fan, said you have to make the deal for Santana. No question about it. Here's hoping the Steinbrenners realize that the best person they have in running the team [Gene Michael] is playing fiddle to an idiot who wouldn't understand a baseball if you shoved it up his ass [brian Cashman]. Memo to Jacko: The Yankees overhype their prospects. Consider it a lesson learned. Hope you practice medicine better than you evaluate pitchers. :thumbsup:

Come on, someone send me a fair trade proposal. Kilo, where are you?

Best news of the year is Hughes is out until July. Thank Goodness. Not that he's injured, that he won't pitch.

Phil Hughes on the DL. Has nothing to do with his 0-4 record and 9.00 ERA. Nope. Not at all. Bring on Rasner and Igawa. The Yankees would probably be in first place if we had Igawa and Rasner in the rotation instead of Hughes and Kennedy.

No one wants Pedroia, Thome, Beltre, or David Wright? Kilo, I'll look again at your team. I'm sure we can work something out. We usually do.

This has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous. It couldn't possibly be because he sucks, could it? Nah, just go read the press clippings and the Yankees scouting reports. Silly me. My bad.

Last I checked, games in April counted in the standings. The Red Sox aren't running away with it like last year. That's the only difference. Cashman blew it. Right now, the Yankees are a MUCH better team with Igawa and Rasner in the rotation than Kennedy and Hughes. This is more a testament to how terrible Kennedy and Hughes have been than how good Igawa and Rasner are.

Oh yeah....Hughes and Kennedy will be awesome. Lets see...if you are a rookie...and you suck. Guess what? You suck. Fire Cashman.

Crawford has left my team. Anyone want David Wright? Or Beltre? Or Thome? Looking for SP/RP/OF Bring on the offers. I want to recreate my team again.

Just remember the Sox as a second-place team. Then you'll feel right at home at the end of the season.
