I'm sorry, but cashman's made enough mistakes to bring down just about every other team in the league, outside of the mets, mariners, and braves.
Billy Beane, with the A's, has made ONE mistake. Jermaine Dye has about 10 mil/yr salary, has been injured since breaking his leg in the playoffs in years past on a hard line drive to the leg, and hasn't been the same since. Shit, they coulda picked up a couple of Tejadas, a Rod Beck, and another Eric Chavez and maybe throw in a couple of Zitos for that amount of money.
Dye currently represents 1/5 of the A's entire payroll.
That said, they are first in the AL west, and have beat the Yanks in season play this year.
I personally don't know why Cashman, with all his money, didn't pick up Arod and move Jeter to second and put soriano in left.
God knows Jeter is in the worst third of fielders in the league with his 3.7 assists per game or so, has no range, but would make a decent second baseman.
God knows the yanks made enough mistakes at third that they coulda just signed Arod, stuck Jeter at third, and not had to purchase Booney at third.
Shiat, I almost feel sorry for Cashman, cause he can't do right, being that he must win it all AND dominate, which the yanks just aren't doing enough of (I'm talking winning way over 100 games Mariners style). And if he loses in the post-season, he outta be fired.
They're lucky BK Kim is in love with blowing saves the way of Armando Benitez (good move getting rid of that guy, Cashman).
Cheese
