Perhaps you should have thought about this before you signed him as a free agent.

Was just going to post this

@jimbaumbach
Cashman said Pedro Feliciano was "abused" by the Mets' use of him in recent years.


fuck you Cashman...

[MFS62]

Question to Cashman:
If you thought he might be damaged goods, then why did you sign him?
And if you signed him because you felt he was healthy, then STFU.

Later

[Gwreck]

What a douchebag. Screw you.

[Frayed Knot]

When asked at various times this past winter whether it was hard to take a pass on re-signing Pedro Feliciano, Sandy Alderson always gave a quick and direct "not at all".

[Benjamin Grimm]

Although, the Mets did offer him arbitration.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's not getting as much play, but they Yankees have also noted recently that Twinkies have recklessly abused Bartolo Colon, age has been heartlessly abusive towards Derek Jeter, and Hank Steinbrenner is constantly abusing himself.

Na, this isn't really much of story.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Wow, just read that on espn.com. What the hell? That's more than just whiny...douchy in my book.

[Frayed Knot]

Although, the Mets did offer him arbitration.

Sure, but that's a safer route (only one year) and was mainly designed so as to eek a draft pick out of what was likely to be a declined offer. Once he got on the open market there was little interest.

What this rant is about is the usual: "we're the Yanquis and we don't make mistakes" bullshit - and so if signings go bad it must be someone else's fault.
- Kei Igawa "wasn't the same pitcher we saw in Japan"
- Carl Pavano was a good pitcher but we couldn't know in advance that he couldn't handle NYC
- we were shocked, SHOCKED that [insert Cuban player here] was older than we thought (so was El Duque but that worked out well so it was a brilliant signing)

Cashman says Felciano was overused but doesn't blame the Mets..huh??? Buyer before dolt..

Time to start merging.

[Guest themetfairy]

It's not like his inning totals were some kind of great secret. WTF?

[G-Fafif]

Brian Cashman can go abuse himself.

Brilliant from Wharten , video

It probably only confuses things that MFY team doctors have players describe pain using "show me where it hurt you" felt dolls.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I like to delude myself that Feliciano is on the DL for the first time in his career because the thought of actually pitching for the Yankees makes him physically sick.

Just keep cashing their checks Pedro.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Zip it and make with the draft pick, Brian. Thanks.

Well, he's not actually providing it, but yeah.

[Frayed Knot]

Or, as Lupica points out today: ... did Cashman tackle Scott Proctor in the old days when Joe Torre was running him out there every day?

[Guest Edgy DC]

When deciding whether to run a pitcher out there, your first oblitgation is to the:

a. team's prospects for the game.
b. team's prospects for the season.
c. fans.
d. pitcher's career.
e. Yankees.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Feliciano likely to miss a year+ with shoulder surgery.

Cashman to blame Steinbrenners for "abusing" $8 million.

[metirish]

Feel somewhat bad for Feliciano but absolutely chuffed to bits for the MFYs and Cashman.

[Ceetar]

Or, as Lupica points out today: ... did Cashman tackle Scott Proctor in the old days when Joe Torre was running him out there every day?

Cashman said today that he tried to get Torre to stop and actually talked to Proctor about it.


The guy has totally lost his filter in public.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Did he try and block him from throwing Quantrill and Gordon every day also?

[seawolf17]

Can we have Mike Stanton's year of suck back too, then? Go eff yourself, Yankees.

Condolences on the loss of Pedro... what that means is that he's a True Met.

I forget if Cashman's deal is up at the end of this year or not.
If it is these unfiltered moments (Soriano wasn't MY idea) may be signs of him either plotting his exit or getting ready to hand the Steinbrenner boys the 'full autonomy' speech if they want him to stay.

[Ceetar]

Also, I heard a brief bit on Michael Kay's show, during one of the commercials for the Mets "game". Don't know who they were talking to but whoever it was said that the weakness in the shoulder showed up in physical they gave Feliciano. And again later. So it sounds like what he needed was more rest to start with, and them using him in Spring Training was actually what caused the real damage.

[Guest Edgy DC]

You know, it's hateful and selfish and shameful of me for this to have crossed my mind, but this injury may allow Pedro to maintain his Mets-and-only-Mets stateside resume, despite having now been property of five different organizations.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I thought of it too. My daughter was jubilant at the thought!
