Yanks Sign Thames

The Yankees were pretty busy today as they not only made the Randy Winn signing official, but also snagged themselves another option for left field by adding Marcus Thames on a Minor League deal. If he makes the 25-man roster Thames will make $900K.

Thames has spent the last six seasons in Detroit, but made his MLB debut back in 2002 with the Yanks. You might remember his first career at-bat when he took Randy Johnson deep for a home run.

Last season with the Tigers, Thames hit .252/.323/.453 with 13 HR and 36 RBI in 258 at-bats. I'd be pretty surprised if he did not make the 25-man roster coming out of spring.
