Yanks Promote Gary Denbo to VP of Baseball Operations

So it looks like long time Yankee hitting coordinator/minor league manager/assistant director or player development/ and player development coordinator Gary Denbo will be taking over Mark Newman's position as Vice President of Baseball Operations.

He's certainly got massive experience with the operation and the transition should be an easy one.

Importantly, the Yanks also made it official that Pat Roessler is out.  I would think Pat McMahon or Jon Kremer would get that job.    We'll see.

Based on Cashman's recent (and latest) ridiculous comments, it's really an impossible job that no one with any other good options should want.

Until and less they come to terms with the foolishness of a win-now mentality, even a great director of development will watch his best prospects get traded or be given an insufficient opportunity to succeed.

The best chance for any young player in the system if for a veteran to get hurt and the stop-gap veteran option to fail miserably.

Then they have to succeed immediately, extinguishing any learning curve.

Therein lies the reason for the $200m mess this franchise has become since the Core 5 got old.

Magadan was told he won't get the hitting coach job.

I wonder what suboptimal choice they will make?

I think the Yanks will hire 2, like other teams are doing.

If they're going to hire Bichette they might as well have kept Long. Apart from the hire itself, it will show that a bad manager has way too much sway in this organization.

Yanks offered this job to Trey Hillman first and he turned it down.
