Return of the Utility Infielder

The Yankees have signed Luis Sojo to be their fifth starter Single-A Tampa manager.

Are you happy now, Heyman?!

How was Chili Davis as a hitting instructor for LA, I wonder...

Sojo's smile above really shows the joy of playing baseball.

[5] Or simply the joy---or even surprise---of getting a hit!

; )

It's too bad they don't have Seniors baseball like they have Seniors golf. I bet Sojo would be a lot better in a world without bat speed. Or speed of any kind.

Plus as manager, you get to wear velcro sneakers. Those laces can be treacherous.

I'm really happy to see Luis stay in the family. [5] had it right. He was so clearly having so much fun out there, I can't think of him without a smile.

ya know I loved Chili as much as the next guy when he was on the Yankees, but as far as being flabbergasted as to why he didn't get a gig with the team...well am I the only one who remembers this little to-do?
