Lance Berkman does not directly fit any of the Yankees' greatest needs. However, his price both in dollars and/or prospects has fallen so low that the Yankees have moved to the brink of acquiring the Astros switch-hitter.
Berkman was not in the Astros lineup for their game against the Brewers in Houston.
When it comes to position players, the Yankees actually preferred either a supplemental type who either plays the corner infield (to rest Alex Rodriguez on occasion) or bats righty and plays the corner outfield (to put Curtis Granderson on the bench against most lefties). Berkman is neither of these. (NY Post)
I really hope we also get Lindstrom.
