02/17: Yankees Sign Scott Erickson
We have
signed Scott Erickson.
The 38-year-old right-hander threw for 10 minutes off a mound Thursday at the minor league complex while manager Joe Torre watched along with coaches Ron Guidry and Joe Kerrigan and vice president Billy Connors. The Yankees gave Erickson the tryout at the suggestion of Jason Giambi.
“He threw the ball pretty well,” Guidry said. “He said he’s been throwing since Thanksgiving.”
One of those "eh, whatever, can't hurt" sort of moves.

Hopefully, he bows out in spring training and someone else gets the pleasure of using Mr. Lisa Guererro.
