Reed Johnson?

I told you several days ago that the Yanks were interested in signing Reed Johnson to platoon in left with Brett Gardner. Now rumors abound that this might be close to happening. As you know, Reed Johsons is a right handed hitter who can play any postion in the outfield and rakes against RHP's. So, essentially, he's a 33 year old version of he Hoffman kid we trade for. The key here will be seeing what he signs for: if it's 2M or less, we're probably still in business should Holliday meet our number. If it's three or more, he's probably the last piece, other than some cheap power off the bench. It wouldn't be a splashy signing, but getting a guy who mashes lefties and plays good OF D would be a smart signing, especially if Curtis Granderson continues to struggle against lefties. Gardy actually hits them alright, so I'm thinking this could be undercover insurance for Grandy.
