Carlos SILVA shut down the Spanks.

Silva has done really well for the Twins since the trade (him and Punto for Eric Milton):

2004:  14-8. 4.21 ERA
2005:  4-3, 3.04 ERA

I know, but he's still Carlos Silva...and the Spanks still suck.

espn radio said something about brian cashman leaving the yanks...and philly was one of his possible destinations.
i'm not sure whether or not that would make the wade-haters happy.

Espn said that because they know Wade is on his way out at some point in the near future. Speculation.

that's what i figured...they mentioned another team too...but i can't remember which one.

Have they mentioned any possible replacements for Cashman in NY?

Do you think The Boss will can Torre and/or Stottlemyre? If so, who will replace them?

I think Girardi would replace Torre.

[hunt]

i haven't heard anything about cashman's potential replacement.

as for torre...girardi is a strong possibility...but i'd love to see them get sweet lou if he somehow escapes from tampa bay.
i was hoping randolph would eventually replace torre but he's stuck with the muts.

I could see Piniella. He's frustrated by the cheapass Naimoli in TB. I'd want to get out of there too.

I'm curious to see how they fix the pitching problem. The minors are dried up and if they trade that asian dude and/or Cano it would be dumb. They need young talent in there somewhere.

[hunt]

they need to bag this season...try to unload some of their old garbage for young talent & build from there.

but that's not georgie's style...so they won't.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They might be able to get a quality player for Randy Johnson... if they pay his whole salary.
