Yanks add Hinske and Bruney
The Yankee Universe — ... According to the NY Post, the Yankees have added Brian Bruney and Eric Hinske to their World Series roster. They’ll replace Francisco Cervelli and Freddy Guzman. I think most would agree that these additions are good moves. Hinske is a solid bench bat that can help out at Citizen’s Bank Park and, although you never know with Bruney, at this point, he’s more useful than Freddy Guzman. I’m also assuming that Jose Molina won’t catch Burnett this series, making him the backup for every game (meaning Cervelli is expendable). ...

Roster Set?
YankeesRedSox.comSounds like Hinske and Bruney are in and Guzman and Cervelli are out.  The Hinske move was the obvious one and had to be done.  Normally, I wouldn't want to add a 12th pitcher at the expense of a batter, but in this case I like it.  With Games 3-4-5 on consecutive days, Girardi will probably avoid using any of the relievers in all three contests.  Bruney gives you some choices and some other options in that case.   And while Cervelli gave you the chance to do some other things with the catcher spot, remember these ...

Yankees Tweak World Series Roster
MLB Notebook - Major League Baseball New, Notes, and Analysis — While the Yanks still have a few hours left to finalize their World Series roster, they made two moves Tuesday to switch up the roster from their other postseason series. Eric Hinske and Brian Bruney have been added to the Yanks World Series roster , pending a late minute change of mind. Hinske will provide a good pinch hit option when the series goes back to Philly, and may get the chance to start in right if Swisher continues to struggle. Bruney was one of the Yanks top relievers at the beginning of the year, and will help take pressure off of Joba and Hughes. ...
