With teams spending money to tie up their stars before free agency and with other markets matching the Yanks former advantage in TV money, where is this team's comparative advantage? Because of the complete incompetency of Yankee management, I don't expect them to be able to come up with any innovative thinking. <br /><br />But it seems to me the future is with:<br /><br />1. Better models to predict player development; lots of great players are not first round picks and are obtainable by the Yanks. Do we need teams of nerds and scouts to do a better job of spotting undervalued talent?<br /><br />2. Does the team exploit its financial advantage by having more affiliate teams in the minors or even in independent or international leagues? Would this be a good way of spotting, landing, and developing undervalued talent?<br /><br />3. Are there certain positions (like pitcher) that do not require a development period that includes the entire youth of the prospect? If so, then perhaps there are untapped international sources of that talent. <br /><br />4. If the path to the World Series is to have a team just good enough to squeak into the playoffs but built for the postseason, then why not construct the team along those lines. Should not the highest priority be to have a dominant no. 1 and no. 2 starter? Is another priority on offense not the star system but 9 Joe Rudis or Roy Whites in the lineup. That is, increase the likelihood that someone will be hot and reliable at playoff time or at least they can competently scratch out a run or two. <br /><br />5. Although not entirely consistent with no. 4, should we rethink the whole notion of the roster. Is "starter" an obsolete role? Would the greatest team in history have 13 or 14 Dellin Bettances who pitch 110 innings per year? <br /><br />Conclusion: The above is irrelevant. The Yankees are too arrogant, lazy, and stupid to consider any new ideas ceejanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-10908259425573593532015-10-14T11:15:46.318-04:002015-10-14T11:15:46.318-04:00I REMEMBER QUITE A WHILE AGO, WHEN I FIRST HEARD ...I REMEMBER QUITE A WHILE AGO, WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE YANKEES WERE LOOKING AT, AND READY TO SIGN HIDEKI MATSUI (SOME GUY NICKNAMED "GODZILLA)..I WAS STUNNED. MY REACTION WAS, "ARE THEY NUTS?..WTF?..JAPAN?..WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?...I CAN'T SEE THIS WORKING!"...BUT IT WAS A SWIFT, DETERMINED, AND ULTIMATELY SUCCESSFUL MOVE. I SUSPECT ONE OF GEORGE'S LAST ORDERS. THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE I SUSPECT.....REMEMBER HOW I KEEP INSISTING HOW IT IS BRIAN CASHMAN THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN, "THE KEYS TO THE CAR", AND I BELEIVE HE HAS HAD THE TOTAL TRUST OF THE STEINBRENNER FAMILY (SINCE GEORGE HAS PASSED), THAT HE WILL DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE TEAM "WITHIN THE FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS OF WHAT THEY REALLY WANT" -AND THAT IS TO SOMEHOW WIN WHILE CUTTING PAYROLL.....REMEMBER THE RAFAEL SORIANO SIGNING?..CASHMAN DID NOT WANT IT...BUT MARIANO WAS HURT, WE NEEDED HIM..HAL OVERRULED HIM. THE MOVE WORKED OUT NICELY BECAUSE SORIANO HAD A GREAT YEAR....CASHMAN KEPT LEAKING QUOTES ABOUT HOW HE WANTED TO KEEP THE PICK THEY LOST. THE PICK, I BELIEVE WAS A PITCHER NAMED COREY BLACK...AS FAR AS I KNOW, HE HASN'T CRACKED THE MAJORS YET.....CASHMAN WOULD HAVE NEVER SIGNED SORIANO THAT YEAR, (BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE KEYS TO THE CAR YET), NOW HE DOES.....WHO IS GETTING SIGNED THESE DAYS?...REALLY NOBODY, (IF YOU DON'T COUNT CHRIS CAPUANO, AND STEPHEN DREW)...WE DID SIGN ANDREW MILLER (THANK GOD)...BUT, DO YOU SEE HOW THE DECISION MAKING HAS CHANGED?...THERE IS NO MORE "OVERRULING" GOING ON...IT IS ALL CASHMAN...HE HAS THEM CONVINCED HE WILL ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE "BUSINESS"...THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS CASHMAN IS NOT A GOOD TALENT EVALUATOR, (EXAMPLES?-(COREY BLACK, CARL PAVANO, HUMBERTO SANCHEZ, KEVIN WHELAN, DAVID ADAMS, JARET WRIGHT, JAVIER VASQUEZ (TWICE!), CHASE HEADLEY, JACOBY ELLSBURY, STEPHEN DREW, BRENDAN RYAN, DOUG MIENTKIEWICZ-I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON)...- I HAVE THE BOOK "THE YANKEE YEARS" BY JOE TORRE. AND IF YOU READ IT, YOU CAN SEE HOW TORRE CLASHED WITH CASHMAN'S IDEAS, PHILOSOPHY'S AND CERTAIN "SABER-METRICS"....THIS BEGINS TO GIVE A US A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR TEAM.....IT'S ALL CASHMAN NOW, AND HAL REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO BE OVERLY BOTHERED, EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL RADIO INTERVIEW.....THE MONUMENTAL PROBLEM WITH THIS IS......CASHMAN IS JUST NOT "BASEBALL SMART ENOUGH", AND HAL THINKS HE IS, AND MAY NEVER DUMP HIM.....O CHRIST...PLEASE HELP US...
