BEN FRANCISCO SIGNS WITH THE YANKEES

Quick update on the outfield competition in Yankeeland.  It's being announced that the Yankees have signed Ben Francisco to a minor league deal.  As the Star Ledger says (HERE), "Brian Cashman said. '... we’re going to take a look at him.'   The Yankees considered Francisco as a non-roster invitee before the season began. He opted for Cleveland -- which signed players like Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn, winnowing Francisco's playing time... He’ll vie for playing time here against players like Juan Rivera, Matt Diaz, Zoilo Almonte and Ronnier Mustelier."

I like it. Throw them all into a pot and see who comes out on top.  Go for it.
