Brian Cashman Work Quotations

I don't think I have a high level of concern, it's just a timing issue. I think he will be ready for his next turn but that may not necessarily be Tuesday. It may be Wednesday or Thursday, or however that works out.

She's not going to get the job because she's a woman, and I don't think she's getting interviewed because she's a woman. I think she's getting interviewed because she deserves to have that opportunity because of that hard work she's put forth.

We didn't hit with runners in scoring position. That's going to happen. If we did, our record obviously would be better. There's not much to judge from six games. We know we've got our work cut out for us.

I don't know if Brian will stay or leave, but I do know he's gotten awfully tired of seeing Tampa get credit for all the deals that work out and him getting the blame for all the ones that don't. It's like he's the GM in title only.

George Steinbrenner owns this club, has a big investment in it, and he cares passionately about it. That is sometimes reflected in his comments. But Joe Torre gets paid to make these decisions. Some work out and some don't.

It was just like, we came so close but we didn't do it -- but we did. I knew that we had the team that could go out and win a meet like this. We have a bunch of talented guys who work real hard.

He has a power arm. That's a skill you can't teach. You hope something clicks when somebody new works with him.

Joe has a great deal of trust in him. Joe has worked close with Ron for a number of years, and he's been talking to him for three years about replacing Mel when Mel decided to retire. This is the man he wanted.

To be as far back as we were, to come back and fall short, it just wouldn't be right. We've had to deal with a lot this year, but we still have work to do.

Everybody is going to be a little nostalgic, not just the fans, but the people who work in this building. But then we're also excited about what the future brings. So it's a great balance. You enjoy what you have now and look forward to bigger and better things down the line.

The deal was done, but the paperwork didn't go through until 3:59, ... That's when the fax went through -- and I have proof of that.

He works hard at his defense. He's gotten better and better, and now he's got two. Hopefully there are many more to come.

I can't count how many times Bernie has said the following: I will do whatever the New York Yankees ask me to do to try and help us win. So if Joe Torre and our coaching staff feel that work on the corners is something that will provide more flexibility and more playing-time possibilities for him, then I'm sure they'll discuss that with him.
