His negotiating with Damon was amazing. You have to admit that he grabbed the bull by the horns and had Boraby the balls. I thought that whatever the yankees offered, that the sox would meet damon halfway and likely retain his services. Cashman made sure that wouldnt happen. As for the pen, he refilled it with the best available talent, how they will be in 2006 is anybody's guess. Basically, he filled our 2 biggest holes, he spared the farm, and dropped payroll by 20 mil. Sounds like a good job to me....

spared what farm and the yanks payroll was going to drop by alot anyways with bernie's 15 mil and kevin browns 16 mil off the books.
