A guy as experienced as Cashman should know better, but since he didn't, no pity for him.<BR/><BR/>Alan Embree, meanwhile, is secretly an agent for the Red Sox, subtlely working to undermine any Yankee hopes of making the postseason. And so far, he's doing his job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444276.post-1123684849172576122005-08-10T10:40:00.000-04:002005-08-10T10:40:00.000-04:00And again, the injured players on the Yankees came...And again, the injured players on the Yankees came to the team with prior health concerns. This rash of injuries is no fluke.<BR/><BR/>Brown lives on the DL, and the way he pitches when he's healthy, Yankee fans root for him to stay on the DL (like Mets fans with Kaz Matsui). Johnson is 41, and as recently as '03 had serious injury issues. Pavano has had multiple shoulder issues in years past, although he was healthy in '03 and '04. Jaret Wright was injured for YEARS till '04. And even Wang had some shoulder issues in the minors, missing a season due to surgery.<BR/><BR/>Ruben Sierra? The guy's 39. Can you really expect him to stay healthy all year. And Bernie's nagging injuries are no surprise, especially since the guy was on the DL every year even in his prime.<BR/><BR/>The only injury which was totally unexpected: Felix Rodriguez doing like Goose Gossage and getting injured in the shower, albeit under far different circumstances.<BR/><BR/>But aside from that, Cashman knew what he was getting himself into when he got these guys. And right now, it's all blowing up in his face.Manny Ortizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467050673543813764noreply@blogger.com
