Cashman acquired Hairston for Chase Weems. Cashman acquired Molina for Jeff Kennard. Cashman already has 3/4 of the material for a solid bench in Hoffmann, Pena, and Cervelli. He is not going to outbid other teams for bench players when he can easily acquire them during the season and has no desperate need for them now.

Remember he lost his pinch running duties to Guzman in the LCS. Also is Cervelli definitely penciled in as the back up catcher ?

I was just saying that the fact that it was going to be O'Neill's last AB in pinstripes shouldn't have swayed his decision. That's all. That seemed to be the part you were hung up on.

It was of a metaphysical nature that is perhaps inappropriate for this blog. But in the interest of proving Joe Torre wrong, here are the fucking numbers: O’Neill for the 2001 WS .333 .412 .400 .812 Knobbs .056 .105 .056 .161 Career vs The Unit: O’Neill was 0-3 , 2k Knobbs was 6-41, ops 400 Steve, my visceral (and accurate) response on that awful night in 2001 is outside of any argument sabermetric or strategic.

And I'm no Torre fan, but I'm glad he didn't allow sentimentality to influence what he thought was the best baseball move. Maybe he was right, maybe not, but the World Series was at stake. If he felt Knoblaugh had a better shot against RJ, it would be insane to not make the move b/c it was a fan favorite's final AB. Seriously, terrible argument. Knoblauch flew out to RF.
