Yanks Ink Ensberg

... Here’s something we wanted to see happen last year, but apparently was blocked by Joe Torre. The Yanks have signed Morgan Ensberg. No word on the nature of the deal — that is, whether it’s a major or minor league deal. My guess is that it’s a minor league one (saving the Yanks a roster spot), with an opt-out if he doesn’t make the big league roster. ...

Ensberg joins the Yanks

... I thought Ensberg would have a bounce back season in 2007 after and return to his 2005 numbers when he hit .283 with 36 home runs and 101 RBI.
