Yankees, Ronnie Belliard Agree To Minor League Deal

By Zachary Links | February 4, 2011 at 5:39pm CDT

The Yankees and Ronnie Belliard have agreed to a minor league deal, according to Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com (via Twitter).  The 35-year-old Praver Shapiro Sports Management client will earn $825K plus incentives if he makes the varsity squad.

After giving the Dodgers some major pop down the stretch in 2009, Belliard was retained on a $825K deal that only became guaranteed upon him weighing in under 210 pounds.  While the veteran may have looked more svelte in Dodger blue, he was less-than-impressive at the plate, hitting .216/.295/.327 in 82 games.  Belliard was DFA'd by the club in September.

      Pretty sure you’re thinking of the wrong person……

      And the correct term would be “rapist”

          Actually, I’m pretty sure he’s also an analyst, making him the world’s second ever analrapist.

    This squashes the rumor that Manny Ramirez kept Belliard in his bat bag as a good luck charm.
