Panelists and audience: "How dumb is he?"
Gene: "He's so dumb, he tried to use flypaper as (blank)paper!"

I used to think Met fans were stupid. But, at this point, they may be the smarter of the two New York baseball fanbases.
I went on a Yankee-themed Facebook page, and asked, Now that Brian Cashman has refused to address the Yankees' obvious need for improved starting pitching, and also created a hole in the lineup where none previously existed, by trading Starlin Castro for a player who, let's face it, is a Porsche for a man with a midlife crisis, who is going to play 2nd base for a team that is supposed to be doing whatever it takes to win the World Series?
I basically got 2 answers:
1. Gleyber Torres. A 21-year-old kid with a grand total of 96 at-bats in Triple-A, meaning he hasn't even proven he can hit at that level, let alone at the major league level, and is coming off a major injury. And...
2. "Just wait for Cash to do his stuff."
I've seen Cashman do his stuff. I want him to stop doing his stuff, and start doing his job! Which is to strengthen the Yankees, not weaken them!
Firing Joe Girardi won't make much of a difference now that Cashman has actually weakened the Yankees with this dumb trade for Giancarlo Stanton.
2018 is going to be a very, very long year for Yankee Fans.
Oh, I can't wait for the trading deadline, when Cashman trades Gary Sanchez for 25 teenagers, and we have to rely on Austin Romine as our catcher for August and September.
Not October. We won't have one.
Brian Cashman is so dumb! How dumb is he? He's so dumb, he's left us with a blank at 2nd base!
UPDATE: Torres made his major league debut on April 22, 2018, and was named to the American League All-Star Team. He batted .271 with 24 home runs and 77 RBIs. As for the postseason, he went 0-for-3 in the Wild Card Game against the Oakland Athletics, but the Yankees won anyway; and 4-for-13 for a .308 average, but no extra-base hits or RBIs, in the ALDS against the Boston Red Sox, so we can't really blame any of the defeat on him.
