Bernie no longer a Yankee?!?

who else thinks cashman is making a huge mistake? sure hes older now but why not let him retire a Yankee?? he did fill some big shoes last year off the bench and hes what I would consider a major role in all their world series wins since 96..





opinions??

Bernie no longer a Yankee?!?
I agree. Bernie Williams has given his best to the organization. He should retire as a Yankee. I agree that he played huge roles in the Yankees four World Series Championships from 1996-2000. It is a mistake. They should let Bernie retire as a Yankee.
Reply:Baseball is WAY too much a business now. Every roster spot needs to be filled with a person who fills a certain role, and a BU outfielder at Bernie's age, with a good but declining bat, and losing the athleticism to effectively patrol the outfield is not a smart business decision. That's the bottom line. If you put him in the minor leagues and he does well, then in September when the Roster expands, you can bring him up then. That's what they were hoping for, I am sure. But Bernie does deserve respect. He is an asset.
Reply:Barry may not be a great player still, but he brings a certain attitude to the team which makes him almost necesary for the Yankees to keep
Reply:I agree.Bernie should still be a Yankee I think he's got another year left in him.
Reply:hes got a 50-50 chance
Reply:bernie said no to a minor league contract. didn't mean he wouldn't make the team. who cares? yankees suck anyway, GO MARLINS
Reply:Bernie has to earn his spot on the team just like anyone else. Why sign someone just for nostalgic reasons when you may have someone better that gets cut? If he wants to retire as a Yankee then he just needs to retire now.
Reply:i like yankee team
Reply:I agree with you....Bernie has been a major part of the Yankees world series run....He needs to retire as a yankee. He was better than a lot of people expected last year filling in for Matsui and Sheffield. I think they need to show him a little more respect and make him the back up outfielder v. Melky. Don't get me wrong...I like melky but they should let Bernie take the field before Melky esp in post season where bernie has just a little more experience.
