Ben Broussard? From Ken Rosenthal's latest:

"Look for the Orioles to jump on first baseman Ben Broussard if the Yankees do not promote him by Monday, the day Broussard can become a free agent if he is still at Class AAA. The Orioles attempted to sign Broussard after the Rangers released him, but like the Yankees, did not want to commit a 25-man roster spot. It's difficult to envision how the Yankees could create room for Broussard with catcher Jorge Posada nearing his return from the disabled list. Broussard, a left-handed hitter, is 8-for-23 with five doubles at Class AAA after batting only .225 in 82 at-bats with Texas."

Thoughts? I figured we already had a declining vet placeholder at first.

Broussard

He’s not very good. I don’t know what else there is to say. He’s not better than Millar. He’s not better than Huff. Who do you move to make room for him?

Also, Rosenthal is a moron. He hit .159 for Texas. His OBP was .225.

Don’t we have about twenty placeholder vets already in the system who could offer what Broussard brings to the table? Why bother?

Yesterday, I would have disregarded this as impossible.

Then we brought back Fiorentino. Anything is possible, once again.
