Thames picks up deal with Yankees: The Yankees announced Monday that they have signed right-handed-hitting outfielder Marcus Thames to a Minor League contract according to the official team Web site. Thames, 32, hit .252 with 13 home runs in 258 at-bats last year with the Tigers. Originally drafted by the Yankees in 1996, Thames made his Major League debut in New York six years later, making a name for himself as a low-average, high-power outfielder. Although he is a .243 career hitter, Thames has batted 22 points and slugged 42 points higher against left-handed pitching.

Fantasy Analysis
Thames will battle Brett Gardner for the starting left-field job vacated by departed free agent Johnny Damon. The Yankees could also choose to platoon the left-handed-hitting Gardner with Randy Winn, Thames or some combination of the two. Even if Thames makes the roster, he will be splitting time in the outfield and does not make a good Fantasy option.
