Cashman Q & A – Why it matters so much

Peter Abraham, Yankeeland's very own buddha of suburbia, has showered us with his benevolence in the form of a reader's Q & A with Brian Cashman. This is a very interesting interview, though not because it gave us plebeians a chance, however remote, to poke and prod the team's chief's strategist. Instead, what's eye-opening is Cashman's candor about his evolution as a GM, particularly his greater willingness to accept statistic analysis in recent years.

His language is painfully vague and impossibly opaque, but Michael Fishman would be grinning were it not for his imprisonment in a solitary cell that keeps out prying journalists (but presumably allows wi-fi signals to penetrate).
