May be the last 'great' GM we will see in a decade or 2 to come....
Trashman couldn't carry Gene's jockstrap....he's that weak...!

I must be having another senior moment. I was looking for this and I couldn't find it. I kept asking
why somebody has not written anything? DOH!!! Yes, no one in this Yankee organization could claim
this man's baseball aptitude nor his ability in assessing talent nor his honesty & sincerity. He always
preferred to be in the background, never wanted the headlines. But, any Yankee fan worth his salt knew
Stick got it done ...........his way. This man belongs in the sacred monument grounds.....
especially as Yankee GM and master scout. Never given full credit in obtaining
'The Core Four'.

YOU are too young for those comical senior moments. The only problem is when I go through them I do
not find them funny.

 

[Lillie]

Well I have a bad memory so whether it's a senior moment or not it is not good.

From what I've seen & read on this board, you show that you've got it together.

...was Posada a great defensive cathcer?...no, but he had a career OPS+ of 121 and is a borderline HOFer.
