Once again, Yankee policy of not negotiating in season I feel has bite them in the ass again. If they were going to be proactive, they first would have accepted the fate of this season, coming to terms that no one player is going to save this franchise. The stars have grown old and brittle, the farm is bare, and several long term contracts cloud the future. As vette pointed out in another thread, it was right after 2009, that the Yankees signed Granderson to a long term contract, giving Jackson and others up in a trade. The fans coming off the championship felt that granderson would be awesome in Yankee Stadium and he produced HR's and high strikeouts. But it also showed that the organization (who ever they are) were still of the business model of buy what you need. That has been our only business plan in the last 10 years sprinkled in with Cano and a occasional reliever. They should of signed Cano and dumped him at the trade dealinr for real assets. The Rays gave up a lot to get Wil Myers who most likely will be the ROY. The Red Soxs tied up Pedrosia, but we let it come down to letting Cano go for a fucking pick or being leverage into another long term contract that 6 years from now we will be a new message board format and complaining about the Yankees vision. Cano has no leadership skills and neither does our GM...
