Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman is beginning to resemble a Roman emperor who enjoys his Sunday afternoon gladiator matches in the Coliseum. Because when you consider that the competition for jobs this season was already severe amongst several of the younger players, how else can you explain his recent penchant for adding to the contest by bringing in the likes of Chris Carter, Ji-Man Choi, Rueben Tejada, and Jon Niese?
If Michael Douglas hit the nail on the head in his Wall Street film with the statement, “greed is good,” then Cashman would add, “competition is good” in baseball.
