i personally have questioned many moves that isiah has made, and dont think that hes a good gm. hes a great scout, and a good talent evaluator, for the most part, but he makes some real boneheaded moves. acquiring rose and taylor is a perfect example. i think its ok for a fan to be pessimistic about the team, because after all, we have been a really medicore team the last few years. we have by far the highest payroll and so many resources to be a good team, its extremely depressing for the team not to be good. the yankees spend a boatload of money every year, but they are championship contenders year in year out. we should be too.
