You are never going to hear a "he's off the table" about an offensive player unless he is already established like Cano. They are just much less important and much easy to aquire than premier pitchers. The idea that teams shouldn't just trade away their top hitting propects, is more related to fans wanting to see players come up through their system and feel like they are their guys then if it is the right or wrong thing to do. bingo. That is the problem here. People are "too in love " with their prospects. Of course Cashman is going to say that Montero can be a catcher. Does anyone think he wanted to de-value Montero's value ? I knew when they brought him up last September , it was to showcase him for a possible trade. Unfornute for many Yankee fans they fell in love with him . The old saying goes , "Never fall in love with what a players does in the spring or September. . NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THAN THE NEW YORK YANKEES

Imho, the yanks should have tried to work out a trade with miami for aroid this past winter. Its his home and they wanted to make a splash. I know they said he didnt want to go anywhere, but if they got creative, it couldve been the opportunity to rid the team of that albatross. And montero couldve been the back up catcher and dh. Ugh, what a disaster. Respectfully, while that's a nice idea in theory, there is the small matter of Arod's no-trade clause to consider. I know it's all the rage to blame Cashman, but that's just piling on. Even if the no-trade weren't there, those kind of deals just never get done. That's just not reasonable. Nah, Hank gets the blame on anything A-Rod!

You weren't there in the meetings. This is just your opinion . The first is a fan assumption based on the reality that Cash has looked into getting King Felix many times and a Montero deal was speculated. The second is an observation based on the fact that the guy showed up overweight his second season in the bigs accompanied by a chip on his shoulder.

So Cashman went after Felix and settled for Pineda. Then Pineda showed up 10 lbs... no ... 20 lbs... no... 30 lbs overweight. Now he has a bad attitude? Even if some of this ends up being true, your logic is seriously flawed.
