Morgan Ensberg Signs With Yankees

Ensberg and Lane? Fallen '05 Astros seem to move together in packs!

Basically a zero risk signing for a team like the Yankees, but I'm surprised Ensberg wouldn't try to hitch on with a team that might have a little more playing time available.

Ensberg in, Phillips out is a net win for the Yankees.

zito4cyyoung, are you the only person in the world who likes Barry Zito?

why bother? why not just let Shelly Duncan have 1B?

Woohoo...I wanted him badly as a platoon partner for Betemit when ARod was gone. And still get him.

He has also played SS. I would not mind having him as a utility man at all. He can still hit lefties very well.

He could even pinch hit for Damon against tough lefties.

If they keep 13 hitters, do they have room for him?

C - Posada, Molina
IF - ARod, Jeter, Cano, Giambi, Duncan, Betemit, Ensberg
OF - Matsui, Damon, Cabrera, Abreu

The only other one would be Alberto Gonzalez...

I like it.

Maybe I'm soft, but I do my best not to pick on Ensberg after what he went through in 2000 (held captive at gunpoint with some teammates). The guy admits to still being troubled by it.

So yeah, he might deserve a break. Just sayin'...

007 I don't think that'll be a major issue, 2005 was a stellar year, after the traumatic events, I think he'll be ok.

Look out ARod here comes Morgan!! Ha!! Looking at him for first base huh?? I will tell you this Yankee fans, his best years our behind him. Watch him hold his bat on his shoulder watching all 3 strikes go by, but hey he does draw a lot of walks and is good defensively at 3rd, but in all the years watching him play in Houston I never once saw him play 1st base. Maybe he and Jason Lane can battle it out for worst position player to make the Yankee roster!!

CRAP!

TMACNTN, Oh you stupid little boy, you f#cked with the wrong bull. You see I was away living life when i came back to see you runnin your mouth on everything. The fact that you are responding to any and every post up here on the boards says it all. Go hit up your parents for them ten stacks, cuz I got a bet sayin that you've never been with a girl. Let alone a hot one! You are my favorite kind of internet dweller, the one who hides behind that keyboard in the vast electronic anonymous wasteland. I will hunt you down on every board just to see if you will back up YOUR BIG MOUTH. How you gonna pretend you have a girl, when you dont even have time for a job cuz youre up here trying to pick internet fights? Which no doubt, comes from a hard day of getting picked on in real life. That goattard thing you came up with was real cute too, sounds like you've definitely grown into your big boy pants. I'm gonna post this on all the latest boards, so everyone can watch and see you puss out on your bad ass challenge.. You post up to me again and I'll give you my e-mail. We'll start from there. God willing, you'll be from Chicago so I can come collect in person. Here's a little advice for the future: When you come here try and just enjoy the rumors, dont go callin people out with stupid ass bets, that you know we cant verify. The fact you cant prove it is not only your stregnthbut also youre weakness. I know its a thinker. Ask someone to explain what that means. I'll come back and check in a day or two. F#ckin kids

I started up a Yankees blog by writing a little article on this signing:
