Hall can opt out of his deal if he isn't on the Major League roster on April 4th. That's what I said. Most of these veteran players who sign these deals have some sort of optout. Some after ST, others maybe 30 or 60 days later if they're sent down to AAA. They can opt out and become a free agent again. Not unusual. CC pushed for this guy to be signed. If he makes the team 600 grand isn't a bad payday. I personally think he's shot, but a minor league deal won't hurt them. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

I saw an article a few days ago that they still have some interest in Chavez. I still don't think they're crazy about Chavez' health situation though. 5 years in a row with DL stints including 4 surgeries. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

This article is brand new: Bill Hall in, Chavez still possible February, 7, 201 By Andrew Marchand On his Twitter account, Bill Hall just tweeted: IT'S OFFICIAL IM A YANKEE!!!!!!!! #IwannaRing!!!! First, Hall is going to #wannarosterspot. Hall, a source informs, signed a one-year minor league deal that could be worth $600,000 plus incentives. If Eric Chavez is not signed, Hall may have the inside track on the other backup infielder spot, but he will have competition. Brandon Laird and Ramiro Pena figure to be Hall's main competition. A source said that the signing of Hall will not have any impact on if the Yankees were to bring back Chavez or not. Chavez, along with Raul Ibanez, Johnny Damon and/or Hideki Matsui could still be inked by the Yankees before spring training begins. Hall, 32, played 62 games for the Astros and Giants last season. He hit .210. Hall’s odds of making the team would go up appreciably if Chavez doesn’t return. The Yankees are still in talks with Chavez. Chavez, 34, hit .263 with two homers and 26 RBIs last season. He played 58 games as his season was shortened by injuries. It was the most games Chavez had played in a season since 2007. espn.go.com/blog/new-york/yankees/post/_... "Leave the gun.
