Atomic RoadRunners: Ensberg Dons Pinstripes (AL)

Free agent 3B Morgan Ensberg has reached agreement with the New York Yankees on a minor-league contract with a Spring Training NRI for the 2008 season. Once Carl Pavano and his ilk are placed on the 60-Day DL, Ensberg will be added to  the 40-man roster.  Ensberg, who was traded from Houston to San Diego following the Astros’ acquisition of Ty Wigginton last July, will compete for the vacancy at 1B and serve as a backup, caddy, and personal valet to incumbent 3B Alex Rodriguez.

Ensberg has been removed from the Atomic Roadrunners’ roster as he is no longer eligible for protection for the 2008 season.
