Questions for a candid Cashman

Yankee GM Brian Cashman and his rival Red Sox GM Theo Epstein shared a stage Friday at William Patterson University. Cashman had some interesting, candid comments and wasn't shy in dishing criticism. The New York Times reports: "While retracing Bernie Williams's unfriendly departure from the Yankees, Cashman said Williams had become more involved in his music and 'that took away from his play' and that Williams had a 'terrible season' in 2005. Cashman added that Joe Torre had played Williams'ahead of guys who could help us win.' " On the subject of the Cleveland bug invasion Brian concludes "I thought our guys weren't mentally tough enough to get through it."
It's refreshing to hear a baseball executive speak his mind on the record. I'm disappointed that Brian didn't take the opportunity to pontificate about his own failures.
Here's a few questions that should have been asked:

• Mr Cashman, you bolstered the Yanks rotation last season with Kei Igawa and managed to only spend 40 million was this a terrible move?
• Brian, you hired a "Director of performance enhancement" that had virtually no experience in baseball. He brought in new workout methods that resulted in a rash of hamstring injuries that decimated the pitching staff. What were you thinking?
• The bullpen you built last season needed a Double-A kid to rescue them. Could you detail what you've done to improve the pen since?
• Carl Pavano was your opening day starter last season (wait for laughter to subside) how's his rehab going?

So many questions;so little time.
