Ensberg signs minor league deal with Yanks

The New York Yankees have signed 3rd baseman Morgan Ensberg to a minor league deal on Wednesday.

Although Ensberg is a 3rd baseman, he will challenge for the 1st base job during spring training.

Brewers Notes

The Milwaukee Brewers are in the market for a 3rd baseman, allowing them to move Ryan Braun (2007 NL Rookie of the Year) to Left Field.

Though there aren't many names out there on the free agent market, a guy that I think could help them out is former Astro and Padre Morgan Ensberg. Ensberg still has some pop and is a decent defensive 3rd baseman, putting him into a hitters park isn't the worst idea, and he's a cheap option.

Padres to non-tender Ensberg?

The Padres have not decided if they are going to keep 3rd baseman Morgan Ensberg, but if they do decide to non-tender him, look for the Phillies, Twins and Giants to come calling.
