Mickey Mantle is lucky that Brian Cashman wasn't the GM way back, otherwise instead of debuting at age 19 in 1951 his first game in pinstripes would have been at age 25.

They should have let the kids play last year. Look around the league and you'll see young talent playing all over the place.

J Rod is a good example.

Cashman I'm convinced likes to keep them down on the farm so the team can control them longer.

And the trade for Donaldson made no sense at all especially since Gio was younger and a better player on off and def last year.

Cashman's Believe It or Not!

Andrew Benintendi didn't want to play for the Yankees and signed with the White Sox instead.

- or -

Brian Cashman didn't want to go over the luxury tax threshold by giving Benintendi $15 million for five years.
