In Cash We Trust

Picimg_mlb_apr_04_cbb8
Somehow, Brian Cashman at times operates below the radar.  At the very least, he seems to operate despite the radar. He bided his time and swooped in on Tex.  He brought in Swisher before any rumors hit the mill. In many ways I've come to expect him to surprise...
