If I was Girardi, I would be highly pissed off at Cashman!! Maybe Cashman should worry about his infidelity issues and that skank he cheated on his wife with, who’s stalking everyone and their mother, and shut his mouth!! Cashman is all about being upfront and honest about things(not wanting Soriano and saying Pineda better improve the change-up & develop into a #1 starter or he will have made a mistake) but he’s cheating on his wife!! HYPOCRITE!!
Ramondo…
If one thinks it may affect his job, maybe they should take a look at what he and his team have done this year. Yes I said team, no one man can do that job alone.
Besides, what has one to do with the other? Cashmans privet life is his and his wifes problem, none of or business. If we can have a President doing the same thing and then lie to congress and the people about it, and hear people say it didn’t affect the way he did his job! I think the same should be said of Cashman, am not 100% sure but running this country is bit harder than being GM of the Yankees…unless or untill he shows he has lost it…forget it. 🙂
I agree wholeheartedly, again.
BTW, I trying to cut down on the length of my comments.
why?
Why am I trying to cut down on the length of my comment?
Sometimes I tend to run at the mouth so to speak. But not to worry, there will be plenty of times when I won’t be short of words.
gotchya. all thought is good thought to me. enjoy the weekend.
See I already posted a long comment.
uyf1950…
I have said that many times myself, if I were as skilled as the writers on this blog I would be happy to do so! 🙂
My friend, I don’t think you give yourself enough credit.
My friend, I am alive to-day because, I know my limitations. Except, I sometimes forget how old I have become. Now days I do the same thing I did a few years ago and end up with a hell of a hernia. Oy vey! 🙂
Wow, anyone read the Daily News piece about Martin’s extension talks? John harper writes the following:
“Considering there are few catchers in the big leagues who can deliver much offense, Martin as a free agent might be able to command a five-year contract worth $50 million-$60 million.”
Is he serious? I like Martin a lot but no chance I give a 30-yr old Catcher a 5yr deal for $10-12M per year.
I think with Martin a full season away from his surgeries his legs will be much stronger and with Free Agency approaching he will also be highly motivated. I expect a very good year and would be estatic to see him hit closer to the .280 average he put up his first 2 yrs in LA.
yeah i did read that this morning. Unless Martin has a monster year i don’t see him getting a 5 year $50 mil contract.
I think the Yanks are happy with Martin and will resign him this year for three years at around 8 to 10 million a year.
If Cashman and Martins agent come to any sort of deal, it better be before they go north.
Once the team breaks camp, all deals are off the table. The Yankees will not do an extension during the season…company policy. Remember the press talking about extending Jeters contract and Cashman said they don’t do that, the same with his contract anda few other players over the last few years.
Besides all that, I like the way Martin goes about his job and works with the pitchers but, with one more year at AAA Romine should be ready for the job in 2013. Cisco will be back-up this year and next year.
There is no need to spend the money for Martin next year, let him go out and get his fat pay check…from someone elsa…I mean, it isn’t as though he didn’t put in the work for the contract, go for it Martin! 🙂
Agree wholeheartedly.
