Cashman is a fan of a second wild card and a one-game play-in. Why? Because of those darn Yankees, of course. “We’re Exhibit A,” Cashman said. “We conceded the division two years ago because of the previous setup. I’m not taking away from Tampa Bay’s...

View Photo »I think in 2012, you are going to see that again
I think the excitement is in the air, for people to see the organization stand up and back them ... It doesn't have to necessarily be [general manager] Brian Cashman or A-Rod. For the Yankees to do it themselves, that makes it so much more special.
I’ve got to keep taking a step back and recognizing that we’ve got guys in our system that are producing ... We’ve got a lot of depth. Can we add to it? We’d like to. But is it realistic? It’s not necessarily that realistic because for me to be able to push through something, I’m going to have to overpa...
We’ve got a really good team, so I don’t feel like I have to do something stupid ... If I’m going to do something this winter, I have to feel good about it. I don’t care how big the name is.
I have a feeling that friendship will get tested.
Bobby's one of the best baseball people I've ever met. I have a great respect for his baseball knowledge. He's very passionate, very determined. I'm sure he's going to be all-in for the Red Sox.
I didn't know Bobby back then
He has a tendency to answer the questions that are asked of him
Nova arrived sooner than expected ... When you’ve got the tools, that can happen. He knows now that he can dissect a major league lineup and go deep into games. He’s a legitimate weapon every five days. And Noesi is the next Nova. He’s throwing the (heck) out of the ball in the Dominican Winter League r...
I’m still very aggressive, and I want to do certain things ... But I’ve gotten better at what I do – as you would hope – and I’m just not as dumb as I used to be. I also think we know our players a lot better now than we did 10 years ago. We’re better positioned to assess what they are and what they’re ...
We haven’t really done anything since Lee chose to go to Philly ... We went through a winter, post-Cliff Lee, of doing nothing. The trade deadline, the whole season, same thing. It’s a reflection of the fact that we have a lot of talent here, and a lot of talent coming.
The bottom line is he put great players on the field, and he delivered championships ... He built something the fans can be proud of, and that's what a great owner does.
No, but it made things more interesting
How it shakes out, I cant predict. Right now, CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova, Phil Hughes, A.J. Burnett and Freddy Garcia are slotted ahead of Noesi, but that's hardly a closed case. He is going to compete with all those guys and with the guys who currently, allegedly have spots

I'm just going to try to improve on what we have, which is very very good, as is
He was certainly the most important piece as we entered this process
We will be challenged with, I'm sure, people knocking on our door with various interest levels in assets
I think we have a great team ... We need to continue to explore opportunities to find ways to get better, but we have a lot of depth. We have a lot of youth coming, we have a lot of support. We have some flexibility.
As we enter the process this winter, I don't anticipate a bat being of need at all ... I anticipate people knocking on our door about the current bats we have. Offense is not a problem with this club.
He is going to compete with all those guys and with the guys who currently, allegedly have spots
I get tempted a lot ... And we definitely have the assets. But we have a lot more patience than we used to have. My job is always to try and make our team better, but my job is not to do it in a dumb way. We’ve got a really good team, so I don’t feel like I have to do something stupid. If I’m going to d...
He could be a catcher, he could be a DH, he could be a bat off the bench, depending on how the roster looks
They did a good job ... I can't get those guys on non-roster invites again. No way. That's a credit to what they did. I know my conversations this time are a little bit different than what they were before.
We don’t really deal with the Red Sox, they don’t deal with us. You don’t seeYankees and Red Sox doing business too easily ... Unless it’s for something like this.
