Were he on the roster that would have made perfect sense. Well, unsurprisingly, Chavez signed a one-year, $900,000 major league deal Tuesday evening to return to the Yankees. The move had been expected -- apparently even by the manager. “If you wanted...

TAMPA, Fla -- The Yankees have re-signed the third baseman/DH Eric Chavez to 1-year $900,000 deal, plus incentives, pending his physical. Chavez, 34, hit two home runs for the Yankees last year and managed a batting average of .263. Yankees manager Joe...

Robinson Cano and Mark Teixeira could all siphon off DH at-bats as well. Jones, meanwhile, will get the most at-bats versus lefty pitching. But Ibanez and Jones are only the start. In the aging Yankee lineup, the DH position is a perfect safety valve...

"We don't have him, but there has been talk about him," Girardi said, adding, "I'd like to have him back. I thought he was productive for us and he gives me flexibility." The Yankees have been discussing a contract with Chavez, 34, envisioning him as a...

I don’t necessarily have any ideas of making any changes.” He also suggested keeping the top of the order pretty much intact from the final parts of 2011, when Robinson Cano was moved up to third, with Alex Rodriguez at cleanup and Mark Teixeira at No. 5.

RBI. That hardly screams preparedness for the most competitive level of baseball in the world. And while his potential is off the charts when compared to his peers, even if you look at other players who made the jump to the Major Leagues when they were...

Ibanez will be a left-handed complement to Andruw Jones. He turns 40 in June and hit just .245 with the Phillies last season, but Ibanez also slugged .440 against right-handers last year, and the Yankees will use him primarily to DH against right-handers.

It is widely known that Bryce Harper’s talent level can be mentioned with some of the great young hitters of this generation. He has already drawn up comparisons to Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez, who both became major leagues at age 19. What...

This winter’s Michael Pineda-Jesus Montero swap looks like a rare win-win, and signing Hiroki Kuroda to fill out their rotation was smart. The record-setting Alex Rodriguez contract can’t be forgotten, however, and neither can the AJ Burnett deal a few...

Second base is a less strenuous position, but Robbie Cano has that one nailed down. If there were any thoughts of moving Jeter to third base (assuming Alex Rodriguez gets injured again) or left field, the Yankees will surely have to start grooming him...

From six starters to one of the best closers in baseball being their seventh inning guy to an offense that should score a lot of runs, the only real weakness could be age; especially on the left side of the infield. But when your biggest two potential...

O’Brien could have completed the cycle Sunday afternoon at Alex Rodriguez Park. But a single, double and two home runs — minus the triple — had to suffice. Not a bad day’s work for the 6-5, 225-pound All-American senior who transferred to the University...
