Completely absurd.

Brian Cashman has four Championship rings and the Yankees are the current World Series champs.

The Yankees also currently have a better record than the Mets.

Bill Madden inexplicably wants to diminish Cashman's accomplishments by analyzing a bunch of scrubs after two months:

"But here's the point: At the start of the season there was nary a pundit who didn't think Minaya had done a terrible job in putting this Mets team together, in particular last winter when he elected to take a pass on all of the (albeit mostly flawed) free agent starting pitchers despite the acknowledged uncertainty of John Maine and Oliver Perez. And yet, as we arrive at Memorial Day, the performances of Minaya's off-season acquisitions - Japanese import Hisanori Takahashi (4-1, 2.13) Rod Barajas (team-leading 10 HR), the Cuban expatriate Raul Valdes (2-1, 2.86, 33 K, 10 walks in 28.1 innings) - have far surpassed those of his Yankee counterpart, Brian Cashman: ([sic] Curtis Granderson (.225, .311 OBP, injured most of May), Nick Johnson (.167, out, probably for season, with a wrist injury), Javy Vazquez (3-5, 6.86), just-released Randy Winn, Boone Logan (5.06 ERA, 13 hits, 7 walks in 10 innings) and Chan Ho Park (8.71 ERA, 17 hits, 5 HR in 10.1 innings)."
