Greg Bird And Chris Carter Have Been Polar Opposites For The New York Yankees

Questions surrounded New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird‘s arrival to the Arizona Fall League and have continued to trail him through spring training.

Shoulder surgery can be debilitating, especially for a baseball player, and Bird’s bounce-back season raised some questions about his performance.

Fearing a setback in Bird’s progress, the Yankees went out and did what any normal team would do: go out and get a back-up with firepower in the form of Chris Carter.

Yet, the tables have turned. We are currently just nine days away from Opening Day and Greg Bird is looking more like Chris Carter than Chris Carter is.
