I would list the "failures" (maybe failure is to strong a word - disappointments?) as these:
Kyle Farnsworth Carl Pavano Kevin Brown Jeff Weaver Denny Neagle Mark Wohlers Jay Witasick Steve Karsay Jose Contreras Javier Vazquez Esteban Loaiza Jaret Wright Octavio Dotel Kei Igawa
I don't really dislike Cashman - I can't even imagine what it must be like to be a GM with that much owner involvememt. The recent Yankee teams were built to get to the playoffs - good offense that steamrolls through the diluted pitching in baseball. But good pitching beats good hitting, and the pitching in the post season is good. More than anything I am just sorry to see a class act like Torre go.
