Cashman Needs to Commit

            With the Chase Headley signing Yankee GM Brian Cashman showed that he is taking a certain route to get to the World Series. Now this isn't anything new, being that Cashman pushed out prospects Rob Refsnyder and Jose Pirela for a 31 year old 3rd baseman that is past his prime. But what Cashman needs to show is that he is fully committed to this path, and not just going to do it halfway. This is what he is currently doing, Cashman managed to spend $500 million in free agency last year, and now when the rotation is at it's worst he is going on a small budget? Now I know that I really sound like a Yankees fan because I am complaining about a budget, but when you commit over $500 million to get to the World Series then not even make a splash in the most worrisome spot in the team but sign a 3rd baseman to a four year $52 million deal which was not even fully needed it shows some cause for worry. Now I am not saying that pitchers need to come from free agency, but they need at least one from somewhere, whether its via free agency or trade they need someone. They just boxed out two prospects, maybe flip one of them for a pitcher. All I know is that going into the 2015 season with all the problems the current rotation has will be a mistake. I hope I am wrong and everything works out but at thins point it is a major cause for worry.
