WHY CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

Change is happening, It's Monday and Dave Eiland, the Yanks pitching coach has been fired. Cashman said this: "I'm not going into any detail about what the reasons were."

In fairness, Cashman said the firing didn't have to do with the lousy pitching the Yankees displayed in the ALCS... ok, sure. Cashman termed the decision a "private" one. But actually, I do remember Eiland was out for like a month or more with a personal reason so, maybe, just maybe he had to leave for a family thing, or something private. Whatever the case, I liked Dave Eiland as a pitching coach. He was a terrible pitcher, but he knew how to work with the rotation and I think he made them better.

By the way, Cashman is planning to start negotiations with Joe Girardi this week. The plan is to sign Girardi to a new contract, and then the Yankees will figure out who will replace Eiland.
