[閒聊] Cashman: "I never feel good about anything"

  The Winter Meetings closed with a quiet Thursday, as Boston tried to finalize

  a deal to send Mike Lowell to Texas, the Astros added Pedro Feliz and Brandon

  Lyon and other teams worked toward making their first moves of the winter.

  The Yankees? They capped their busy week by adding Jamie Hoffmann, the

  outfielder taken first in the Rule 5 Draft by the Nationals as part of the



  Brian Bruney deal.

  Hoffmann will challenge Brett Gardner for the final spot on the roster, so he

  won’t exactly be a huge piece of the puzzle. But given that the Yankees were

  likely going to non-tender Bruney, why not take a shot on the kid?

  Here were some parting thoughts from Brian Cashman before he left the meetings



  On Hoffmann: “We feel he’s got great makeup, he’s got ability and we

  project him in the future as an everyday type player. We have all those

  lefthanded bats, so it will be interesting to see how he mixes in.”

  On what he’s looking to do next: “I’m open to an array of choices right now

  Depending on what the market values are, I could gravitate to bullpen if I

  feel like the starting stuff is so expensive. I could gravitate to position

  players that come into a territory that makes sense, or I could hold.”



  On the Yankees’ DH spot: “Juan Miranda could be our DH if we wanted him to.

  We have Jorge Posada, Mark Teixeira, A-Rod; guys who can swing over on their

  days of rest. We have people we can play in that position internally right now

  I’m not trying to oversell anyboduy, but Juan Miranda will do a nice job

  against righthanded pitching as a DH if that’s what we have to do. Is that

  the right way to go? I think the market will dictate that.”

  (That quote immediately brought to mind the winter of 2005, when Cashman

  insisted for more than a month that Bubba Crosby would be the center fielder

  until he threw $52 million at Johnny Damon.)



  On whether he would move any more prospects in trades: “I’m hesitant to move

  certain young players because of what they can do for us in the here and now

  or in the future and the salary off-set they provide. At the same time, for

  the right player, I’ll move anybody.”



  On whether he would wait out the market for a Bobby Abreu-like bargain before

  spring training: “Patience could benefit you, or it might not. You can wait

  something out and see if it falls in your lap, but by doing that, you risk not

  getting something maybe you want or feel you have to have. It’s risky for us

  to play that game if we really want something.”




  On Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain: “They’re starters right now, without a

  doubt. They’re going to prepare as starters. The relief stuff? That’s a

  layup. That’s not something that’s hard to do; the starting stuff is hard,

  so we’ll gear them up as starters. If we decide to change that at some point,

  no big deal.”



  On the trade market: “I’ve had my trade discussions with various teams, and

  the price tags are what they are. I’m not in position right now to execute

  any free-agent signings or trades that I would recommend.”



  On his feelings leaving the meetings with Andy Pettitte and Curtis Granderson

  done: “I never feel good about anything, to be honest. You make those

  decisions and hope they work out, but until you play through it, you don’t

  know how it’s going to play. We hope this stuff makes us better.
