He was always overrated. He rode the coattails of Stick Michael and Bob Watson to success. Once Jeter and the rest of the 90s core retired, he's been exposed. His drafting and starting pitching acquisitions have been particularly atrocious. The Red Sox have fired two different title winning GMs in the last decade and he's still employed.
I know he started off hot in the late 90s but I don't know why he's gotten such a long leash since then. 2009 was 12 years ago.
The Rays and Sox come into the stadium and embarrass us with regularity now.
He had a ton of strikeouts with the slider last night but I'm pretty sure he could throw nothing but fastballs and still pitch shutouts. When you can pitch 100+ deep into starts with movement and pinpoint accuracy it's not fair.
Yeah that was really nice, getting the split after dropping two close games. The Pads are really good.
Any strategy that doesn't involve firing Cashman will fail miserably.
He'll look stellar through three and then get a bad call, lose it, walk two guys, allow three hits, throw a wild pitch and hit a guy leading to five runs.
