I've never been a Boone fan, but the culprit in putting this team together is Cashman. Boone has no one reliable on the bench and his bullpen is mostly journeymen who have had little success anywhere else. He can count on Cole going out and pitching well every five days, but after that, it's a crapshoot. I don't know if Cash can fix it because there's so many holes. I think the first two games of the Reds series were some of Boone's worst managed ones of the season. Brining in Ferguson on Friday night to face De La Cruz, benching Rice on Saturday, but overall, he's been fine this year. Changing managers isn't good to improve the bullpen, or make Gleyber hit or bring the fountain of youth to DJ. This roster needs an upgrade. It would also help if the starters could stay in past the 5th inning once in a while so he doesn't have to go so deep into a short bullpen every night. Ferguson should only be used in mop-up situations. |

The first two months of the season, the Yankees were the best team in the league in scoring in the first innings. That's dried up big time and they are always behind. |

Cashman traded away arms during the offseason as if he had trees growing them in Tampa. Soto has been fine and Verdugo has contributed, but at the end of the day the game is still about pitching. |

Ferguson should only be used in mop-up situations. Agree, but Cousins and Hill are mop up guys as well. So was Tonkin until recently. Don't know alot about Maciejewski so Boone doesn't have a lot of choices. Even the backend guys have been inconsistent lately and like you say, the starters are going through a rough stretch. |

He did move a lot of arms but most of them are underperforming. Who knows if they would have been better in NY. King has been ok, with a 7-5 record, 3.51 era but a 1.27 WHIP. Vasquez has struggled at 2-4. 4.88 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP, Brito is 1-2 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. Thorpe who is now pitching for the White Sox is 2-1 with a 4.43 ERA and 1.23 WHIP. He's young and may get better. Peralta who left as a FA is 2-1 with a 3.94 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. |

Part of the problem is the pitchers who Cash didn't trade and were supposed to help, either got hurt or underperformed. |

I'm probably in the minority, but I have no problem with Boone or Cashman. They haven't been perfect and I would like to see the Yankees in the world series. But, overall those 2 guys together have the Yankees finishing with a pretty good record year after year. So I'm not sure changing GMs or managers over that time period would have made any difference in the Yankees won-loss record/post season success.

I think Cashman is OK because he has a huge wallet. My biggest problem with the Yankees is that every year they fall in love with a couple of bad players and stick with them for too long ...i.e Cabrera They Cant worry about hurting players feelings ... make the team better. |

Injuries hurt the Yankees depth, their roster would be totally different right now if they had Effross, Dominguez, Berti. Effross would be a big upgrade in the bullpen, and Berti is a bigger upgrade than both Jones and OC. |
