"Eric Hinske has been acquired by the New York Yankees from the Pittsburgh Pirates for a pair of minor leaguers. Pittsburgh will receive right-hander Casey Erickson and outfielder Eric Fryer for the utilityman. In addition, the Pirates will give the Yankees cash. The 31-year-old Hinske hit .255 in 106 at-bats this season with nine doubles, one homer and 11 RBI, playing right field, first base and third base (Sportsline)."
Hinske was so good his rookie year, and then kind of disappeared. He is a very solid bench player, and put up good numbers with the Rays last year (20 HRs 60 RBI). He'll add some depth to the Yankees bench and give them a power option. Overall not a big move...
