Yankees Sign Richie Sexson

Looks like the Yankees are now a threat to be reckoned with! They have a tentative deal in place to sign first baseman Richie Sexson for a pro-rated league minimum salary. Financially, it is a safe move, but signing a guy who was cut by the worst team in baseball? My guess is they want to solidify defense at second base, add a right handed bat that is effective against lefties, and utilize Jason Giambi (while he is relatively hot) more as the DH in Matsui's absence?

Anyway, not a terrible move, but what they really need is pitching!
