Scott Dierking Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 32-year-old Erubiel Durazo has reportedly inked a minor league contract with the Yankees. GM Brian Cashman didn't confirm the signing when asked. Durazo was hitting .354/.446/.582 with nine homers in 158 at-bats in the Mexican League, though that OPS ranked him behind guys like Carlos Rivera, Jose Ortiz and Geronimo Gil, as well as former Yankees Karim Garcia and Ruben Rivera. While we like the move for the Yankees, it seems clear that Durazo just isn't what he once was. Jul. 7 - 6:10 pm et On rotoworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hmmm. Interesting... What position? When he was with Arizona, he played 1st. I don't know if he DHed in Oakland. Decent pop. He is a Mexican League guy that the Diamondbacks went to in the late 90's. Decent pop at one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidhuman Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Not a bad move to a minor league contract. If he doesnt pan out cut his ass and get a real 1B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 He was actually in the Yankees farm system a year or two ago (I believe it was last year) and he didn't hit for any power. Real strange though, when he was in the big leagues his issue was staying healthy. When he was in there though, the guy could hit the ball a mile. If he has guys like Ruben Sierra out playing him in the mexican league I'm not all that pumped about addding him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
