In my opinion, a useful pick up today for the New York Yankees today. The Yanks have signed utility infielder Bill Hall. According to Erik Boland of New York Newsday, Hall has signed a minor league deal. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets that Hall will earn an MLB base salary of $600K and can earn more incentives based on plate appearances, and, can opt out of his deal if he isn't on the Major League roster on April 4th.
Hall began the 2011 season as the Astros' starting second baseman and finished the season on the Giants. Hall finished with only a .211 Avg. and a pair of home runs, which was was way off his 2010 season, in which he hit 18 home runs in 382 plate appearances. Look, Hall is no Cano or ARod, obviously, but he has served a purpose and contributed to the teams who have had him on their rosters in the past.
And, based on Hall's tweet today, ""IT'S OFFICIAL IM A YANKEE!!!!!!!! #IwannaRing!!!!", it sounds like he is ready to rock and roll this Spring!Keep it hear for all your Yankee news and be sure to #BYB on Twitter.
