Philip Hughes, my friend. Look him up. Home-grown, and the next big ace... I guarantee it. Brian Cashman has started to go in the right direction with the team because yes, it did help them to get star players then, but now we have so many star players that we need to stock up on the farm system for the future. I do agree that he is being rather stupid with the whole Mo situation. But look at your GM, how much money did he spend on an unproven pitcher from Japan, which itself is not anywhere near the caliber of players/hitters as America? Too much.

Don't even get me started on Manny...
