Odd that he would admit they botched Severino’s and Mitchell’s development when they are so young still and will be heavily relied upon this season. I’d like to see Jordan Montgomery in the rotation at some point this year, not that it has anything to do with any previously stated banter anywhere.

I don’t see Mitchell as a failure yet.
I feel Severino is a failed starter tho. Mitchell still has that potential.

Huh? Mitchell is older than Severino by two years and is less accomplished…
hoohaa
Kinda seems like a BS excuse to me….. If they weren’t ready how does that help them contend?
How come the only farm regular to hold on is Gardner?
Truth of the matter Cashy is the Yankees don’t develop players very well. Sure you can change your focus from buying Free Agents to buying farm hands but you still got to develop them.

Because an unpolished guy with a lot of talent can be better than a below average MLB player. How is that hard to understand?
Dave Robertson walked, Melky Cabrera was traded, Austin Jackson was traded, Jose Quintana was traded, in 2017 the Yankees will have four homegrowns in the lineup and three guys who came via trade of homegrowns (Didi with Greene was the mean piece, Castro with Warren and Headley prior to his extension).
I think what Cash said makes a lot of sense. He fully admits he rushes them (which implies they don’t develop them well) but also rightfully points out the Yankees never have a “lottery” pick to deal with and they’ve lost a lot of picks over the years going after high priced free agents.

I thought we weren’t supposed to read into spring training stats…

Where all those morons at who called Carter’s deal a steal for the Yanks? I said he was a bum who was taking a roster spot from young talent who could actually help the next great Yankees team and got slammed on this board. Wake up idiots, Carter is terrible and will probably be released by May.
SuperSinker
Spring training stats are pretty well useless. They have ostensibly zero predictive power, so we shouldn’t be making judgements on a player because of ST. If you thought he was a bum, a good spring shouldn’t change that. And vice versa.

Good to know no one takes this too seriously

Imagine if the Red Sox took spring stats as seriously as you do. Papi would have been released 5 years ago.

Would you really want that young player sitting on the bench in the majors, getting closer to free agency, or in the minors playing every day and continuing to develop?
yipyap
Cashman is dead wrong on this one.they play way too many dumb games with their young pitchers.they need to take off the training wheels and just let them pitch.pitching a thousand minor league innings to scrubs helps no one,and creates a possible reliance on habits that may never fly in mlb.
BrodiesHairisGreezy!
When is he going to own up that the Yankees Pitching coach who he has praised in the past reaaaaaallly SUCKS. He hasn’t developed one arm yet.

And if Simmons didn’t get the nod at SS, it most definitely would have been Xander, and not Didi.
billysbballz
Why? Why would it be X over Didi? Because your a sux fan? X was playing third so slow your roll!
