Cashman has been New Yorks GM since 1998, when the Yankees won the World Series in his first season. He has built three more championship teams, most recently in 2009. Cashman said during a conference call that he wants to find a way to get our fan base back to enjoying October sooner rather than later. The 47-year-old Cashman has been in his job longer than every GM in baseball except San Franciscos Brian Sabean and Oaklands Billy Beane. The Yankees have missed the post-season the last two seasons, the first time theyve done that since 1992-93. Now he has to turn around a roster that was one of the lightest hitting in the AL and fix a rotation that had four of five members spend time on the disabled list.dddddddddddd Alex Rodriguez will return from a yearlong suspension and turn 40 next season. Finding a way to get him to contribute in a lineup with no shortage of DH candidates will be one of his challenges. As will be finding a shortstop to replace the retired Derek Jeter. Were always looking to be better at every spot, Cashman said. We will be looking at Brendan Ryan and (asking) are there obtainable shortstops above Ryan. Cashman also addressed the departures of hitting coach Kevin Long and first base coach Mick Kelleher. Long had been the hitting coach since 2007. I think he tried everything in his power, Cashman said. I think Kevin can sleep at night knowing he tried every tool in the toolbox.
