Cashman’s response to the A-Rod question is the same argument SOME people on this blog refuse to accept.
Where’s the question about Justin Upton?
What a homer.
Right. Send Bob Fucking Woodward in there next time for an investigation.
Tough week for A-Rod. First Reggie dumps on him regarding the past steroid use. Then Cashman describes him as “above average” not once, but twice. That’s the best he can do for a future HOF’er? Knowing that bad things often come in 3s, I hope Alex’s current girlfriend is loyal.
I think any big leaguer, even a future HOFer, hopes for “above average” at 38. That’s not a putdown.
then that will be next year
I mixed up him and Jeter. I always assume Alex is 38 because I’m 38 and we pretty much went to HS at the same time in Miami. I forget he was a year behind me.
wonder what he’ll be like in 3 years, when we are paying him 25mil or so…about 1/7 of the payroll.
Are you old enough to remember Willie Mays when he played for the Mets in 1973?
I was 23 back then….and he was a sad picture when you remembered what he was like in his prime…the best ballplayer I ever saw, even to this day.
Hope for the best. There is literally nothing either of us can do about it.
How about at 36?
(He’s no Ike Davis)
I believe that to Alex it is. He is used to being the starting All-Star 3B (or SS), not above the mean.
Torrie, is that you?
Don’t see it as insulting at all.
I like how he listed Chris Stewart as a surprise.
He must be impressed by Stewie’s ability to get hits off of IF’s gloves (as he should be).
“We have our catching,” Cashman said. “I believe in Russell Martin, period.”
Good stuff, I’d love to see a Q and A like this with Cash but more focused on the minor leaguers too. Cash is one of those guys who will always be under appreciated since his club’s large payrolls, but when he’s gone he’ll be looked upon fondly by most sane observers. He’s steered this ship nicely since grabbing more power a few years ago. It’ll be interesting who replaces him, maybe Eppler, who’s become Cash’s right hand man. Nice read, can’t wait for the weekend and yankee baseball.
What a great GM.
