Yanks Continue to Fill Out Roster

The Yankees have signed Bill Hall to a minor league contract and invited him to Spring Training. Yankees fans will best remember Hall from that last sentence. The Yankees may also be close to landing Raul Ibanez. Ibanez would give the Yanks the left handed bat they lost when they let go of Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui. Not overpaying them for their decline years now seems like a big mistake. Admit it.

A 40 years old? Why? Vazquez sounds like a better choice.

Well Ibanez can hit, while Vazquez probably can't, at least not at the big league level. However, Vazquez comes cheap, and Ibanez doesn't so its a more a philosophical question of what matters more: a better hitter, or a better bank account.

Maybe Cashman is afraid that an idiot fan will see "J. Vazquez" on the roster and engage in an act of violence.

"A. Burnett" is still on the Roster though, so violence is likely anyway.

Maybe not for long!
