Theo needs to perform Hari Kari for lowering the payroll of the team by $8 million this season. It would have been nice to have Cabrera and Pedro around.
Compare his performance to the miracle Cashman performed for the Yanks over the summer.
Cabrera is better defensively but he's not as good as rEntEria. Pedro was a divisive force in the club house who could no longer beat the Yankees and couldn't be trusted with pitch #101 and beyond.
This team had no depth in the minors which meant that the starters played more innings than needed. The pen sucked and they never really had a #1 guy. This team looked worn out when the season ended.
