JASON LANE MIGHT JOIN YANKS AT 1ST BASE (RR)

A Jason Lane—everybody wants one
A Jason Lane—everybody needs one

Just in case Jason Giambi, Shelley Duncan and Wilson Betemit aren’t enough at first base heading to spring training, the Yankees have interest in adding free agent Jason Lane, according to a source.

Lane, 31, was not tendered a contract by the Padres after hitting .178 with eight homers and 27 RBIs last season. He began last year with Houston and went to San Diego in a September trade.

Though Lane is a career outfielder, the Yankees believe he would be a quick study at first base, where he has appeared in four games during his six-year major league career.

Can't say I hate it.

And, in regards to the intro, I've been singing that song every time I heard his name since I got a copy of Brighten the Corners.

What happened to Eye Chart? He's a better hitter than Lane at this point, and actually plays good defense.

Classic.

We don't need a 1B. How about we get Jason Lane?
How come?
Dunno, I bet he could play a handy 1B!
You think?
Can't hurt to try! It's worked so well for us in the past!
Say, that's a great idea then! Let's go get some ice cream!
Yay! *dance*

Really, I think the real thinking is even worse than this. I'd guess JL would be a replacement for Melky, as they suspect he is soon to go. Which is awful thinking for several reasons.
