[quote=Irishman12 If Cashman was gone, so would Phil Hughes and either Ian Kennedy or Melky Cabrera. Sure we would have Johan but let's give the deal some more time to see what was the wise course of action.
I think if the Yankees had the chance to go back in time to make the deal, they'd jump at it. [/quote]
I wish people would get the terms of the deal correct. It wasn't just Kennedy and Melky, it was:
Hughes Kennedy Melky Prospect
for Santana
or
Chamberlain Cabrera Prospect
for Santana
or
Hughes Kennedy Austin Jackson
for Santana.
The question is whether Hughes ends up doing something with the Major League career. Kennedy is a wash at this point, and Melky is now in AAA because the Yankees feel the #9 hitter is what is holding them back.
