Who exactly is our GM again?
It's Brian Cashman, right?

“How can I go any higher?” Steinbrenner said. “What do they want —Hughes, Kennedy and Cabrera? I can’t do that kind of thing. It’s crazy.
It’s suicidal. In the past 20 or 30 years, teams have always asked more
from the Yankees than they have of anybody else, and that’s going to
stop. I’ve made the best offer Minnesota is going to get, and the fact
is, it’s an offer we can go away happy and they can go away happy.”

“I do want Santana, and the fact is that this is their best offer,”
Steinbrenner said. “I think it’s probably the best offer they’re going
to get from anybody. I don’t know what Boston’s going to do, but that
won’t determine what I do.”

Refresh my memory, but isn't making offers to teams in the course of acquiring players the oh I don't know....GENERAL MANAGER'S job? What the **** is Hank doing? Where's Brian Cashman and why isn't HE talking about our offer to Minnesota and what we will or will not give up to get Johan Santana? I read a funny quote on a Yankees message board saying that "Brian Cashman just gets people coffee at this point." That seems to be the truth of it. I haven't heard squat from the GM about what's going on but I've heard more than I need to from Hank Steinbrenner. Someone needs to remind Junior precisely what his job description is because I think he's forgetting. Someone find Brian and tell him that his boss is thisclose from selling our farm to the podunk GM of the Minnesota Twins. That is, if he can be pried away from the coffee pot.
Can anybody get the Yankees to confirm or deny the signing of Juan Gonzalez for 2 years at 2 million a year as reported by a Puerto Rican newspaper? Gonzalez is in good physical shape and has been training and playing in Puerto Rico and would be a tremendously good addition to the Yankees. As I read elsewhere, Hank Steinbrenner has acknowledged a very strong opposition from the Yankees fans to a possible trade of Phil Hughes to the Twins. Why not listen to the fans? Remember Hughes no hit Boston for 7-1/3 innings before he suffered an injury and had to go to the sidelines which forced him to re-start re-training after getting well, hence his first outings thereafter had to be slowed but at the end he was back showing his good stuff. Forget Santana and stick to Hughes is my recommendation. Santana was not as effective against the eastern division and the Yankees may be making once again the mistake of trading their youth for somebody whose worth to the team is much more time limited.
