Yanks Sign Chris Young, Pending Physical

That was quick, current reports have the Yanks and Young already agreeing and awaiting a physical. This is just the latest example of them clogging their 40 man roster with extra veterans.   They will never get out of their slide making the same mistakes over and over again.   They must have really loved last year's squad.  Seems like they think it will have better health this year, though everyone will be a year older, and want to make that bet.   Ludicrous.  Is Ichiro next?

The GM is killing this team.

Just expound on that, let's say ownership is telling him he has to win now and he, even reluctantly, agreed in order to keep his job.

The choices he is making to win now stink; he's not up to the job.

Maybe he would be up to the job if he could do things his way but this is the business has chosen and he has chosen to do it their way as long as he keeps accepting the big check.

I think Cashman is smart enough to realize that he needs to hold onto his legitimate prospects if the team is to have any kind of future, which is why I don't think you see any trades unless they are obvious moves.

Moves like this, though, are one of the main grievances I have with him. There is zero reason to give this guy $2.5 million when you have minor leaguers who could do it for the league minimum.

These league minimum kids will not develop plane one day a week let them play in the minors every day in my opinion

I agree that it's unfortunate to block Flores. On the flip side, from the warped perspective of the Yankee front office, $2.5M is not a whole lot of money and, if Young doesn't work out, they'd have no hesitation in cutting him, as they did Soriano (who was making alot more money). The $64 question -- if Flores makes a compelling case to stick, what do they do?
