ESPN: Outfielder-first baseman signs with Yankees

  The New York Yankees signed Cuban prospect Juan Miranda to a four-year contract worth $2 million, the player told ESPNdeportes.com.

  The deal, which includes a signing bonus of $500,000, is a major league contract and requires the Yankees to place the outfielder-first baseman on their 40-man roster.

  The signing was confirmed by a Yankees official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

I’ve never heard of Miranda, so I can’t give you much information about him besides the fact that he’s 23 years old in Cuban years. I’ll scour the net for more information. At the very least he fills a position of need.

Here are Miranda’s career stats in the Cuban league.

Players
AB: 1138
H: 343

3B: 14
HR: 57
RBI: 205
BB: 197
K: 242
AVG: .301
OBP: .404
SLG: .538

Hey, check it out -- nobody's commented yet! You could be the first to comment on this AWESOME post! Hurry up and think of something to say! And not "First!", or anything like that, because that would be lame, and you'd be lame for doing it. Especially if someone beats you to it.

Well, since you spent so much time reading this, you've probably missed your shot to be first, but go ahead and post anyway. Someone might read it. Not ME, but someone.
