Mark Teixeira?s wrist injury has the Yankees searching for a short-term replacement at first base and David Waldstein of the New York Times reports that they?re trying to talk Derrek Lee into coming out of retirement.
Lee sat out all of last season after failing to get an offer he liked, but according to Waldstein the 37-year-old has some interest in playing for the Yankees.
Lee split the 2011 season between the Orioles and Pirates, hitting .267 with 19 homers and a .771 OPS in 113 games. He had similar numbers in 2010.
Obviously a 37-year-old who didn?t play at all last season and posted a sub-.800 OPS in 2010 and 2011 is hardly an ideal pickup, but at this late stage in the offseason there just isn?t much to choose from in terms of veteran bats who can also capably play first base on a regular basis (in other words, not Jim Thome).
