For any manager, dealing with the media is a growing part of the job and for Cash, it was initially a tough part of the day. He has a good personality and is friendly, but he just wasn't comfortable in the spotlight.
Fast forward to last week in Nashville, Tenn. Cash could be seen joking with Red Sox writers about the team's acquisition of David Price, "Did they get David Price?" he quipped. And he proved engaging with Yankees writers when asked his views on the team they covered.
All the while, Cash struck a calmer figure.
