Another Schilling note .... In December 2003 the Yankees were choosing between trading for Schilling or Javier Vazquez. Supposedly we could have gotten Schilling for a package featuring Nick Johnson. Instead we traded Nick Johnson, Juan Rivera and Randy Choate for Javier Vazquez. Yes Vazquez was much younger but boy did this turn out to be one of Cashman's worst decisions. Vazquez was one of those guys that just couldn't handle NY. To make matters worse, Cashman went out and got Vazquez a second time!!! Resulting in a 5.32 era. If they had gotten Schilling instead of Vazquez - we probably win that 2004 series against Boston.
