All Things Bubba

The Yankees have added yet another first baseman: Morgan Ensberg. He's been signed to a minor league contract and will compete with Shelley Duncan, Wilson Betemit, Jason Lane, Nick Green, etc.

And I wonder who Johnny Damon will be voting for now? His guy, Guiliani, dropped out. I guess there's still former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

The Reds have released some spring training news. Position players must report by February 19, (though Andy, like most players fighting for a roster spot, will probably show up early). The first full-squad workout will be February 20. Photo day will be Friday, February 22.

The Reds play three spring training games against the Yankees:

March 6: 1:05 p.m. Ed Smith Stadium

March 10: 7:15 p.m. Legends Field

March 14: 1:05 p.m. (split squad) Ed Smith Stadium

If what happened with Bubba last year is any indication, Andy will get a warm welcome from the NY press, the fans, and his former teammates.
