BRANDON LAIRD IS the first and third baseman

Bleeding Yankee Blue visitors know we like the kids on the Yankee farm and we have created substantially concerning it here. Actually ... Jeana Bellezza, one of our senior authors adores Brandon Laird and just like me, desired him playing on the Yankees group eventually. This season for example would have been perfect for Laird, a very first and 3rd baseman and famished to excite.

Jeana Bellezza as soon as composed of Laird," I have watched Brandon Laird for several years now and I am unfortunate to see him go. I understand, the common argument is "he has no future as a Yankee," and indeed ... I can view that. The life of a minor organization infield possibility is not a very easy one with Cano, Jeter, Tex, and ARodstanding in the means and realistically, the only having fun time on the big stage would certainly be available in a bench function or as a fill-in during an injury. However, Laird has actually been solid for the Yankees ..." Read HELLO PEARCE, FAREWELL LAIRD from back in August 2012. In brief, she enjoyed Laird, she counted on him, but the Yankees really did not and at some point he went away.

Now, with ARod absent at 3rd, and the Yankees needing a back-up for Tex initially, it would have been wise to have a kid like Laird hanging about. But it didn't occur.

Now we get word that Laird simply signed with the Washington Nationals. The Royals provided him up, check out HERE. I initially checked out about it from William Ladson of MLB.com:.
