The NY Post is reporting that the Yanks are interested in Jason Lane! They would like to sign him to compete for playing time at first base with Wilson Betemit and Shelly Duncan! Lane has been an outfielder most of his career! So he would have to learn to play first on the fly! But the Yanks think he'll be a quick study! His career OBP is .314! He has not demonstrated any noticeable platoon split tendencies! He is 31!

Finally! Brian Cashman is getting a chance to show what he can do without Steinbrenner interference!
Posted by: DR | Thursday, January 10, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Lane won't break camp with the Yankees unless he has done a 180. It's not a risky proposition because he comes cheap and you can never have too many options going into Spring Training. If he pans out, great. If he doesn't, who cares? It's one of those moves.
Ironically enough in 2005, his best season, he hit righties very well. 18 HR's in 361 AB's, .280/.322/.521. So maybe a Lane RHP, Duncan LHP platoon is what Cash is thinking about. But again Lane would have to really have a good showing to even let it get that far.

John, good analysis. I mean it's not an awful move, as you point out. Just one of those moves. I think he's supposed to be a decent outfielder, so, perhaps if he makes the roster, he could give our aged outfield a spell once in a while and also man first.

That was seriously hilarious.
Oh, sorry.
That was hilarious!

What's the deal with exclamation points?!
Is this an inside joke or something?!
How about giving some love to ampersands while we are at it?!
