Can't Winn for Losing

Joel Sherman tweets that the Yankees have signed Randy Winn pending a physical. No terms yet, but it better be for no more than $2 million. Color me underwhelmed.

Ostensibly, he's signed to be the righty half of an outfield platoon (although Winn is a switch hitter) - could be for Gardner, could be for Granderson. Although the 35-year-old former (Devil) Ray, Mariner and Giant had decent seasons in 2007 and 2008, he completely fell off a cliff in 2009. But, for the right price he's worth taking a flyer on for 200 ABs out of the nine-spot - decent glove, decent baserunner, passable offense.
