    Oh, that'd be great... more depth.

    Sexson is a really good signing. VERY low risk, high reward type of player. I don't expect him to hit .260 BA, .400 OBP, and .550 SLG or anything, but I do expect to see a productive bat off the bench who can play solid enough defense.

    Don't forget that they signed John Olerud after he was released by the Mariners back in '04.

    What can I say? The Yanks love their Mariner first basemen.

    Isn't Mariner another word for Seaman? So, the Yankees love Seamen?

    Really the important thing to the Yankees is how effective he's been this season against lefties -- something that's been a glaring weakness in their offense.

    They're falling into the trap of overvaluing a small sample size though. Yes, he has a 1.045 OPS against lefties this season...in 71 plate appearances.

    Last year, he was better against lefties than righties, but nothing special against them - .752 OPS vs. lefties, .675 vs. righties. In 2006, he was better against righties with a .866 OPS against them and a .763 OPS against lefties. For his career, he's only marginally better against lefties - .879 OPS vs. lefties and a .842 OPS against righties. Recent history shows that he's not a lefty-killer as his 2008 would seem to indicate.

    Although, all that matters is that he's an upgrade on their current options (Wilson Betemit), and that would seem to be true.
