The Yankees seem to be sold on Oswaldo Cabrera as their Swiss Army Knife bench player. |

The Yankees seem to be sold on Oswaldo Cabrera as their Swiss Army Knife bench player. Yea, and he hasn't shown much recently. Maybe a dip into the free agency pool would be helpful but I think starting pitching should be prioritized. Either way it won't be easy for Hal with the 110% tax. |

Let’s see if he’s grown up a bit… |

But, as we know, that 110% tax won't break the Yankees or even put them in the red. Everyone loves to hate the Mets, but hand it to their owner, he invested his money last season to try to get his fans to a World Series. I have respect for that kind of leadership; it just didn't work. The Rangers did the same. Of course, there is a lot of luck required to get to the big stage. Injuries have to be manageable, some players must have big statistical years, and you have to win close games. I am still very optimistic about this season, even with Cole gone, but if I were Hal and had his fiduciary wherewithal, I'd say to hell with the luxury tax - let's get a poorman's replacement (albeit expensive) for Cole. |

That could offset his expenditures. Make the players pay for the after game buffets or sign-up for pot-lucks. Volpe and Wells can bring the chicken parm and garlic bread after opening day. |

If it is, which Snell is he? I’m thinking maybe Cash goes under cover here and we trade for a younger pitcher with some control and a bit lower expectations but great potential. Bring back the game Cashman. It needn’t be half-worn out old game. Get a young one… And don’t forget we have Warren and Gil… |

You expect to get the young guys that are only making some $750,000 per year to chip in?… |

He atleast can give close to the same amount if innings as cole and is proven in the playoffs too . I think he is worth close to what he is asking . |

These guys watch their caloric intake. |

I honestly don’t know… I’d rather sign him than Snell because I’d rather have his consistency… |

I honestly don’t know… I’d rather sign him than Snell because I’d rather have his consistency… Last i saw he wants similar money to rodon . While i dont think he is worth that , after what guys like giolito and sevy got per year , i do not think monty is worth much less than what rodon got. I mean there arent many starters that can give the innings that monty can . |

Bring back the game Cashman. It needn’t be half-worn out old game. Get a young one… And don’t forget we have Warren and Gil… Warren and Gil will be needed for sure, even if in the bullpen. Snell rejected his qualifying offer, so he will cost draft picks and international free agent money. Plus, he just walks so many batters, which is why he's a five inning pitcher. Cashman's ego might be in the way to admit he was wrong about Monty being able to pitch in the playoffs, and there is no guarantee Monty doesn't have a sour taste in his mouth about how he was treated by Boone and his intermittent 4.2 innings limit. |
