The Yankees are going to become trade animals!

[davell]

Good for him.

[jersey cubs fan]

Another in a long line of Tampa based management consultants?

Special donut assistant, amirite?

Before long, Jim will be eating his Snickers bars with a fork.

[PriortoTheoIhadWood]

Probably for comic relief, amirite?

 

No really, congrats to him. I have less animosity for him now than I did years ago when I valued how meddlesome the Trib was at the end much less. Still glad he's gone from here, but I am glad Ricketts treated him with respect and left him some dig-ni-tea on the way out.

I'm glad to see he's landed on his feet. He wasn't a great GM, but given that experience and his scouting reputation, he should make for an excellent special assistant.

[PriortoTheoIhadWood]

BTW: Should I blame Hendry for not even seriously pursuing Carlos Beltran back in the day or is that on ownership? I never, ever got how they missed the boat on that one...It was such an obvious move to make, but maybe I've just re-written my history.

[Post Count Padder]

Glad he's their problem now.

 

In all seriousness, he's not a good GM but he is a pretty likable guy so glad to see he got a job somewhere.

How do you eat it? With your hands?

Yankees offseason checklist:

 

1) Leadoff hitter

 

2) Get more left-handed

 

3) find guys who can catch the ball

Why hasn't WSR given his opinion on this yet?

I shall begin throwing banana chips in his general direction.
