According to the Winnipeg Free Press, the Yankees have signed INF Myron Leslie to a minor-league deal. Leslie, 27, was drafted by the Athletics in the 8th round of the 2004 MLB Amateur Draft and spent five seasons in their minor league system, never playing above Double-A.
Last year he played on the New Jersey Jackals of the Canadian-American Association and hit .272/.410/.494 with 18 HR and 75 RBI. He was mainly a 3rd baseman in the Oakland system, but last year played most of his games at first base. He's also played both corner outfield spots, and even a handful of games at 2nd.
