Last week the Yankees were reportedly in serious discussions with veteran utility man Bill Hall. Tuesday afternoon, Hall tweeted in capital letters "It's official, I'm a Yankee!"

The Yankees confirmed that Hall received a Minor League deal with an invite to Spring Training. Off a rough 2011 (.211/.261/.314 in 199 total plate appearances), Hall worked out with Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long. Two seasons ago, he played left field, right field, second base, shortstop and third base (and even pitched) for the Red Sox.

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Yankees are in “serious” talks with veteran utility player Bill Hall, who the team tried signing last winter before he went to Houston. The Astros released Hall in June. He then appeared in 16 games with the Giants before he was designated for assignment the end of July.

While Hall endured a rough 2011 (.211/.261/.314 in 199 total plate appearances), he is reportedly working out with Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long. Two seasons ago, Hall played left field, right field, second base, shortstop and third base (and even pitched) for the Red Sox.

If the two sides come to terms, Hall could spell many veterans who need days off – think Jerry Hairston Jr. -- especially if the Yankees fill the DH spot with an established bat.
