Yanks Interested In Kenvin Mench

Ed Price of The Star Ledger says the Yankees have interest in Kevin Mench as a fifth outfielder. Last year with the Brewers he hit .267, with 8 HR, and 37 RBI.

Mench, 30, would probably go to Yankees camp on a minor-league contract. But he give the Yankees a right-handed option in the outfield, where Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Bobby Abreu are lefties and Melky Cabrera is a switch-hitter. Shelley Duncan is right-handed but could win the first-base job.
