Quickie: Recent Cashman Scorecard

This is quick, dirty, and incomplete.  Add as you like:
-Trading for Granderson: Pretty darned good
-Trading away Coke and Kennedy: Not so good, but used properly to improve club
-Trading away Melky: Opened CF for Granderson, so very good
-Signing Feliciano: Very VERY bad...and don't whine that his previous team overused him.  Don't sign a guy that was overworked.
-Publically disavowing the Soriano signing: Good, and it's always good to show up Levine.
-Signing Martin to catch: Very good, eh?
-Not ponying up more cash for Lee: Considering he signed for more per year but for less years, I don't blame Cash for this one.  Can't really blame anyone.
-Treading carefully with young pitchers: So far that's a fail.  Joba's never going to start for the Yankees again, Hughes is on the shelf, Kennedy was used for a trade (albeit a good one)...As much as I want to see Banuelos and Betances in the majors, I fear for their arms.
-Jeter's contract: Cashman could have handled that better...that needed to stay in house.

Anyone else have anything to add?  Anything to disagree about?
