Girardi left the Marlins staff in shambles and will kill these guys without Cashman watching over his shoulder. Damon, Giambi, Matsui and Abreu are all in decline, Posada almost has to regress, Mariano has slipped the last 2 years, the bullpen is still shaky outside of Joba, the right side of the infield is like Swiss cheese when Giambi plays 1st. Obviously ARod and Jeter are solid but they dont really have an ace like Cleveland, Boston, Detroit and the Angels (yes Scuds Lackey) and as soon as the pitchers get touched up a little Hank will go crazy and blame Cashman for not getting Santana. It will be fun to watch.

I don't think that Cashman is making the decisions again. It is like the old days when George was making the moves. This is Hal's team (and while I am sure that Cashman didn't want to trade the kids for Santana), and if he wanted him that bad then they would have gotten him.
