Brian Cashman said on YES tonight that the Yankees have signed Jason Lane to a minor-league deal.
A right-handed bat, Lane can play all three OF spots and a little first base. He’s 31 and coming off two hideous seasons. He did hit 26 homers in 2005.
Considering that Lane is a worse hitter than Shelley Duncan or Wilson Betemit and has never really played first in his career, I'm not gonna get too worked up over this one. In fact, I'd be very surprised if he even made it past Spring Training.
