"It's an area of frustration, not only for us, for Greg and for our fan base. First base has been horrific. But we have been, or I have been, kicking the can down the line a little bit, waiting to get a definitive (answer) on Greg," Cashman said. "He's dealing with issues that we're sending him everywhere possible to find a definitive answer to. He's the best scenario. This guy's a hell of a ballplayer when right and when healthy. He's been unhealthy obviously for the first half, that was something unexpected and that's gone on for an extended period of time. Our hope is still to wait.
