The Yankees have claimed Travis Ishikawa off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles in a real head scratcher. He is out of minor league options and yet another left handed bat and would require us to make a 40 man roster move. Ishikawa is a first basemen if you could not figure that out already and gives Lyle Overbay his first real back up this season. I can see Kevin Youkilis being added to the 60 day DL to make room for Ishikawa and Alberto Gonzalez DFA'd to make room n the 25 man roster. I was hoping to get Russ Canzler so this is a little disappointing.
UPDATE:
Kevin Youkilis has in fact been added to the 60 day DL to make room for Ishikawa.
