10:33 PM: You all wanted the Yankees to add a bat? They added a bat. Too bad it's 33-year old .218-hitting Richie Sexson. Seriously though, Sexson will become the only Yankee with a .300+ clip against lefties this season and should provide even a minor boost over Wilson Betemit.The Yankees will only have to pay Sexson the pro-rated minimum of $161,000. So in the end, the worst thing that will come out of this will be a little lost loose change out of the Steinbrenner family's pocket.
10:49 PM: Alfredo Aceves' line from Scranton today:
4IP 2H 0R 0ER 0BB 5K
Update coming later with the matchups for the Oakland series.

if sexson can hit anything over .200 against LHP he will be worth every penny to play over betemit
We have absolutely nothing to lose by giving Sexson (I still giggle every time I say his name ;P ) a try since they will be paying him chump change. Hopefully he can turn out to be productive ala Shane Spencer back in the glory years.
sexson is garbage. nothing but garbage. hes hitting .218 this year. .218......thats .218 i dont care what he does against lefties he is trash.
Not true. What we DO have to lose is pissing off betemit and/or giambi or whoever's spot sexson is taking on any given day. girardi has done a good job playing everyone enough but sexson has the potential to get in the way. i know this offense has been bad but a washed up 33 year old is not the answer.
DAMN THOSE METS.WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE YANKEES HAD A NINTH INNING COMEBACK.BLUEJAYS/BJ RYAN????????? PLEASE.................
Watching the Mets and witnessing the amazing comeback of Fernando Tatis has made me really appreciate the Sexson signing. No he will not hit .350. No he will not hit 20 second half homers. But he could (I am using the term "could" very loosely) give us a little spark that gets this team going.
Nice to see Aceves pitching well for Scranton. That's what, 8 IP with zero runs so far? That's what I like to hear. I think he'll make a case for a call-up before season's end.
theres no reason yankees fans should be pissed t this signing. it cant hurt us can onoly help us
It's cool the Yanks could get away giving him the minimum. I'm guessing their wasn't much competition for Sexson around the league as far as contracts go...
I guess i dont mind the sexson signing but it just seems a little......weird
i agree sexson sux but he is worth a try
LETS GO BIG SEXY!!!
Welcome to da bronxxx tonight
Let's hope he hits like we all have seen him hit in the past.
