Traded hanely ramirez (possible MVP canidate for many years) for

MIke Lowel (old) and Josh Beckett (possible cy for 1 year) (BAD)

They have both made good and bad moves in their tenures but for the ability to put up with the Steinbrenner family without putting on a gorilla suit I have to give it to Cashman!

Cash Man by a long shot.

i'm a yankee fan, but i have to say those lists are totally biased...you aren't even looking at theo's record in turning the red sox into a team that actually uses its farm system, breeding young guys such as dustin pedroia, kevin youkilis, jacoby ellsbury, jon lester, and jonathan papelbon, plus his acquisition of dice-k which is working out pretty well even though i think dice-k is the most overrated pitcher in baseball...on the other hand cashman has made his share of really bad deals(see: trading wily mo pena for drew henson, acquiring jeff weaver, trading away dioner navarro as part of the randy johnson trade), as well as finding any way possible to tear apart the yankees' farm system, so i would give the edge to theo here

Brian Cashmen title may be General Manager but he doest p**s without the ok from the BOSS!!! Cashmen looks like a great gm he has taken alot of credit for the Yankee dynasty in the 90's but lets be real its the BOSS who tells him what to do how to do it when to eat when to Shir* ETC so I give my vote to Cashmen!!!

Theo Epstein; I don't know if you noticed but this dude showed all the bad things that Theo did yet pointed out all the good thing that Cashman did.

Your question reeks of bias....what a waste of time.

You answered you own question....Red Sox 2 World Series titles and the

Yankees 0 under their guidance.

BTW...Nomar too quit on the Red Sox and declined a 4 year 60 million dollar extension.

You are not a very intelligent baseball fan.
