For some reason, Yankees fans can't appreciate the work of general manager Brian Cashman.

Despite never overseeing a losing season, winning four World Series championships since 1998 and doing everything in his power to keep the team in the hunt during an injury-plagued 2014 season, detractors exist for the Yankees executive.

Over 800 voters want Cashman out when his contract expires at the conclusion of the 2014 season, a topic the general manager refused to discuss with the media last week in Baltimore.

Recently, strong disagreement followed an N.J. Sports Now episode giving Cashman credit for his July trades and ability to upgrade at the margins during the July trading season.

Despite the accolades and annual trips to October baseball, Cashman hasn't been perfect in his 17-year tenure atop the Yankees front office. Ill-advised contracts, poor trades and a below average farm system have all be legitimate complaints over the years.

Are you a Cashman detractor? In your opinion, what has been his biggest mistake over the years? With names like Carl Pavano, Jaret Wright, Javier Vazquez and Kei Igawa to choose from, the debate could rage on.
