Brian Cashman Called the Baltimore Orioles a Sleeping »
During an appearance on the Scott Garceau show on MASN and 105.7 RM, the Fan, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman had some nice words to say for the usually pathetic division rivals the Baltimore Orioles and their GM Andy MacPhail. “Andy is doing exactly what Andy does best,” Cashman said. “He is as sharp as they come.

New York Yankees Prospect Justin Milo Kicked Off »

New York Yankees Prospects: RAB Releases Top 30 List »
We’ve seen a ton of these this winter. It seems like every Yankee blog out there has their own. We’ve even toyed with the idea of releasing one here at BBD (having not seen most of these players play ourselves we’ve decided to let others handle it). Out of all of those lists there really are only a couple that matter. Pinstripes [...]

They’ll Be in Triple Digits Soon »
The Yankees have 15 retired numbers and about 65 people in camp, it’s really not out of the realm of possibility that they could have somebody wearing no. 100 on their back some spring training in the future. Especially because Yankee fans seemed to have unofficially retired certain numbers (21 and 51 among others). If you can’t tell by now, [...]
The Yankees Plans for Jesus Montero »
Jesus Montero has been a hot issue with the Yankees lately. Should they trade him or keep him? Is he good enough to stay behind the plate or should they move him to another position? If they move him to another position where should it be? Is he ready for the major leagues now? Should he be a midseason call-up or should they take it slow with [...]
GM Brian Cashman Addresses His Yankees Bench Decisions »
After the Joba Chamberlain/Phil Hughes debate, the topic that we have focused on the most this offseason has probably been the state of the Yankees bench. It seems like it's one spot on the Yankees that is always in flux, and that was no different this offseason after they lost Eric Hinske, Jerry Hairston Jr., and Jose Molina. Luckily for the [...]
New York Yankees’ Brian Cashman Interviewed by »
Brian Cashman has been the Yankees general manager since 1998, but it was only after 2004 when he really started taking over the team. Today, Hal Steinbrenner runs the budget, but Cashman seems like he’s in charge of everything else. That is why when he speaks it’s probably smart to listen. When he speaks to NoMaas.org, you’d damn well [...]
