NEW YORK – New York Yankees’ first baseman Chris Carter has been notorious for much of this season because of his inability to hit the ball with any consistency. Yankees’ fans have harped on the power-hitting Carter but do not seem to realize that he was brought in by general manager Brian Cashman to be a backup for a whopping three million dollars.
