So much for getting younger, quicker, and more flexible with the payroll:
"There is no time to waste. Circumstances dictate immediate action. The Yankees need to play their best hand and get Roger Clemens back in Pinstripes."
It's spring training.
"Brian Cashman spent some time yesterday with retired football Giants GM Ernie Accorsi. Losing Wang now is like losing your star running back in the final exhibition game."
Roger Clemens was always presumed to be better than Kei Igawa or Carl Pavano. The Wang injury really doesn't change much because Wang is expected to be back before the 1st of May. So, what has really changed? If Cashman wanted to spend the money on Clemens, he should have done it already.
"All the plans, all the moves are meaningless without an ace."
I'm guessing Wang is the ace.
Okay.
But Wang will be back in a month.
Clemens won't even be in major league shape in a month.
"Clemens not only is the Yankees' best option, he is their only option."
Well, maybe they shouldn't have traded Randy Johnson in the first place.
But the options are actually pretty close to infinite. It's just a matter of how much the Yankees are willing to spend or how much they are willing to trade.
Or just wait ten days for Wang to get back.
That's an option.
