Last week, Ken Rosenthal published a fascinating article on how the Moneyball philosophy continues to impact the game. One prominent passage discussed Brian Cashman’s efforts to implement changes to keep pace with the Red Sox:
The Yankees, a perennial post-season qualifier, also held low draft positions. When Cashman secured more power before the 2006 [...]
Just typing the words of that title made me squirm a little bit. All things equal, I want Brian Cashman back as the General Manager of the New York Yankees. He’s a shrewd trade maker (see the Bobby Abreu and Nick Swisher deals) and he’s been good at finding useful parts on the cheap (see: [...]
I know many die-hard Yankee fans have been waiting for a sign from Yankee decision makers that AJ Burnett is in danger of losing his spot in the Yankee rotation. To date, Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi have been staunch defenders of AJ, but at least one of those men have opened the door for [...]
There were a few interesting articles today that I wanted to highlight:

Brian Cashman spoke on a few different things yesterday, so I thought I’d weight in.
First up from LoHud (H/T RAB):
On yesterday’s starter :
“Everybody was like, ‘This guy looks like he can help us,’ ” Cashman said. “I’m not afraid to take a chance.”
Sounds about [...]
In my post from yesterday about , reader/commenter nyyankeefanforever said:
What we need is pitching. Period. We’re already scoring plenty of runs. We need fresh arms, not castoff bats – no matter how cheaply they come. If Brian Cashman is wasting a single minute of his time between now and [...]
Bryan Hoch and Brian Cashman spoke recently and the Yankee GM the importance of the draft.
SHAMELESS PLUG TIME
Don’t forget to tune into TYA’s draft coverage by reading up on Sean’s posts about draft targets.
Cashman called the draft “the most important day of the year” and stressed that [...]
In the wake of Posada-gate this weekend, more details are emerging of exactly what went down, and what the Yankee response would have been. I’ll start with a
