You have a poor understanding of the word marginal.

I don’t think the 5th starter is worth going into great panic. I do think if they’re going to move Joba to the bullpen next month that they’ll need to move Hughes to the rotation. Once Wang went down in early July, I led the charge to begin stretching out Hughes so that he can return to the rotation. If they’re going to move Joba to the pen, they need to move Hughes back to the rotation immediately.

If by “hitting below 230″ you mean .262, then yeah, they’re hitting below 230 with RISP.

The way I read the story yesterday Hal Steinbrenner wanted KC to pick up the salary. Maybe I mis- interperated the story. But if I didn’t, you didn’t read mine very carefully.

is cashman blind?

Worse. He was an unemployed sanitation worker, but Hal felt sorry for him and gave him a job.

i would have settled for arroyo over mitre.

Which is exactly why you’re not the GM.

As discussed in last nights game thread, Arroyo has $17 mil left on his contract. Add in the luxury tax and it’s over $23 mil. Mitre has about $600k left on his.

While Arroyo is MARGINALLY better than Mitre, only and idiot would take him under the monetary circumstances.

That is if I understand the process correctly.

Which may not be the case. How do you (or any of us, for that matter) know what KC was asking for Bannister?

Generally, if it’s a salary dump, the acquiring team gives up very little in terms of prospects, but picks up the entire salary.

What if KC was asking for a decent prospect AND wanted Cashman to pick up the entire salary?

Despite what one would think by reading these comments, Cashman knows more about what’s good for the Yankees and how to run the organization than all the commenters put together.
