Re: OFFICIAL YANKEES 2005 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD
If I was Cashman I would have signed Beltran instead of making a move for Randy. The Defense is PATHETIC. Something needed to be done in terms of CF and Bernie Williams should not have been considered an option coming into this year.
They should have kept Lieber at the one year option and retained Cairo to play 2B. Also Wright should have never been signed. A pitching staff of Mussina, Pavano, Vazquez, Lieber and another FA signing or Brown would have worked fine. The team would be helped so much by just putting in Beltran in CF that they would save over 60 runs over the course of the year.
Another option they should look at for next year is moving Jeter to CF. I think he would make a damn good one. He has good general speed but lacks the first step which is detrimental to him at SS. He also has a very strong arm and this would allow A-Rod to play his natural position and then they could get a Koskie to play 3b.
