Yankees to sign Brian Roberts

[SuperKevin]

I've always liked Brian Roberts but he hasn't been healthy for ages. If he somehow manages to stay on the field, this could be a very underrated signing.

He can't stay healthy, so this won't work out.

they'll have Kelly Johnson to fill in at 2B as well.

Hasn't even played half a season since '09. Color me skeptical.

This isn't necessarily making me feel much better.

Now if they'd add a pitcher worth a damn, I'll be happy.

Oh boy, I wasn't expecting Roberts to come back, but I also wasn't expecting him to jump to the Yankees. I expect a chorus of boos every time he is at Oriole Park.

For the signing itself, Roberts has yet to prove he can stay healthy. The speculation he was on steroids and the laundry list of injuries over recent seasons leads me to believe he isn't going to stay healthy. With that risk of injury, the Yankees also don't have DH open for very many ABs, so I would be prepared for at least one long stint on the IR for Roberts.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point.
