Lets blame Chien Ming Wang. He would have started one of these games so everyone wouldnt need to be on 3 days rest.

My point is that people think the Yankees should go out and get everyone. That's just not possible. The Yankees knew their situation, and I'm sure they looked into every possible situation. Sometimes there's not a match, and sometimes another team comes up with a better offer. Maybe hindsight is a bad term here. My point is that people think the Yankees should go out and get everyone.

And it's not hindsight- I wanted him in June/July. I’m sure your right, but even Cash is fallible. And it’s not hindsight- I wanted him in June/July.

I really hate this hindsight speculation. We have no idea what happened with Lee, other than the Indians eventually traded him to the Phillies. I'm sure Brian Cashman, who had dealt with 11 trade deadlines before, did his due diligence. And how do you know the Yankees didn’t go for him? I really hate this hindsight speculation.

The thought that Mitre or Gaudin would fit the bill was wishful thinking. The Yankees had a chance to upgrade before the trading deadline, but didn't. They didn't need to break the bank for Washburn or Halliday, as there was another pitcher available. The Phils traded 3 not upper level prospects for Cliff Lee, and have him for next year also. There were those who wanted the Yankees to go for him. If they had, the Phils probably wouldn't have made past the Dodgers, and the Yankees 4man rotation would have been awesome.
