The Yankees designated infielder Alberto Gonzalez for assignment this afternoon in order to make room for the newly-acquired Reid Brignac. Some thought that Ben Francisco‘s roster spot could be in jeopardy, as he’s hitting just .114 (5-for-44) in 21 games, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman joked to reporters today that he’s keeping him around for a very important reason.

I take it the Bleacher Report thing didn't work out then?

I thought that was King Kaufman. Was Goldman involved in Bleacher Report as well?

Yeah, Steve was involved...but things quickly fell apart.

I'm not even sure he ever wrote a piece for them.

Steve wrote a few articles for Bleacher Report in April, but then they stopped. I never saw an explanation.

On my left hand is a copy of the Baseball America Prospect Handbook, a scattering of CDs, including "The Who Sings My Generation" (their first album), Hüsker Dü's "Zen Arcade," and a collection of classical pieces by Felix Mendelssohn. On my right hand are DVDs of "It Happened One Night," Yankees 1996 World Series highlights, a box set of Randolph Scott westerns, and photographs of Babe Ruth, Hank Greenberg, Casey Stengel, and my family. Welcome to my world.

That's an impressive set of hands.
