Some of Cash's moves were terrible - see AJ. Some of the moves mentioned here had nothing to do with him. The Jay Buhner trade was made by George. But it's truly apples and oranges comparing NY and TB. As terrific as he's been, TB's GM might be fired by now in NY for not winning a WS. And I'm sure he doesn't have all the guys who historically have been second-guessing him in the owner's ears, and actually making moves (see Soriano) over his objections. It's ALWAYS about this year in NY, and that enormously influences decisions, for better or worse.
