There's nothing much that Cashman can do right now. Everyone keeps talking about going after King Felix but he signed a 5 year extension with Seattle last year so why get rid of him if he's locked up. This upcoming season may be tough but the Yanks do have some good young pitchers that Cashman doesn't want to give up in a trade, like the "Killer B's"

Lol at calling it a "rebuilding year" you guys are so spoiled just look at that payroll and compare it to other teams.
The Yankees just need to play up to their contracts (AJ Burnett, Jeter, Posada, etc...)

starting pitching is one thing.. But there was and still kind of is a %!%+ load of bullpen arms and all he gets is Feliciano and that's enough for him..
But we all know it's not.. That's the frustrating thing.. All the world knows our bullpen is weak besides Mo.. But he doesn't actively pursue anyone

Maybe he's trying to take a page from the Phillies and is being secretive about who the Yankees are pursuing or planning to do. But it's starting to feel like 2008 all over again when they didn't make any real moves and they had to depend on young pitchers like Hughes and Ian Kennedy.

A rebuilding year? C'mon now, just because the Yanks are not the favorites people are falling all over themselves. Give me a break.
What do you want Cashman to do? Cliff was never coming, he wisely stayed away from Crawford, and you NEVER overpay for middle relief. Easiest position to obtain during the season, Wood was doing nothing for Cleavland, and the Yanks got him for peanuts. He ends up being lights out. Tossing around tens of millions of dollars just to make it look like you're making moves is a panic move at best, straight up idiotic at worst.
Cashman has done the right thing this off-season, stand pat and see how everything plays out with the young guys, and the players in line to have bounce-back seasons. (Jeter, Texiera, full season of Granderson with his new plate approach, etc) The only move worth making may have been to get a top flight guy like Greinke, but KC was asking for the sun and the moon. Y'all just need to chill.

Fanhouse is reporting that the Yankees have discussed Manny and are showing interest in Johnny Damon. Not sure how I would feel about this, offense isn't the Yankees problem, and knowing that both of these players are represented by Scott Boras means that they aren't gonna come cheap. Money that could be spent on the bullpen.

I really have to facepalm thinking about the front office now.. It would be 1 thing, if we had no DH. But didn't we just make Posada the DH for the simple reason he can't do anything else.
Then we signed Russell Martin to be the Starting Catcher, and all things point to Montero being on the roster next year. So there is no space for Posada at catcher.
Neither Damon nor Manny (especially Manny) can field. So they'd play where exactly? DH.
At least when we were considering Crawford, he was a guy who could field, run, and hit.
Instead of worrying about !%#! that we do not need. Maybe they should have put their cards in more than the 1 pot of Cliff Lee, when everyone was still on the board.

Heard this rumor on the radio today about the Phillies maybe trading Cole Hamels for a very much needed right hand bat, because his contract is up and they aren't sure they can afford to keep him. I believe there's no way that this happens, here in Philly all of the buzz around the team is about them having four number 1 starters. This city would go crazy if they dealt him.
