I am Yankee fan and saw the game as I watch ALL their games. I hope George does not do anything until after the season. Somehow Cashman has put together a very uncompetitive team. In important postions they are very weak. In centerfield they have neither offense or effective defense. First base is an offensive position, and they are getting no offense. And at DH they are getting little hitting or power. One corner outfielder is supposedly a third place hitter who does not hit for power or drive in runs and the other corner outfielder is not driving in runs. They have put together a great starting rotation if we they were playing in the last millenium. And the bullpen cannot get to Riveria if and when given a lead. They need a new general manager and manager but it would do the organization little long term good to do it now. If George lets things be, then when he fires Cashman and does not resign Torre, there will be little doubt that it was the right thing to do.

This team reflects a lack of a long term approach to building a team. The 90’s Yankees had a core of developed players that were supplemented by good BASEBALL players. Today’s team is a collection of overpaid, over-the-hill guys that George decided to collect along the way.
