It has been a couple sluggish years for the former Mets slugger, but he could certainly still help the Yanks in their time of need.
"Break glass in case of emergency" time already struck for the Yankees when they had to call up Chris Parmelee to replace the since-injured trio of Mark Teixeira, Dustin Ackley, and Greg Bird at first base. Well, they pulled that switch to dial the fire department and it turns out that the line was cut there too since Parmelee is already hurt. Putting Rob Refsnyder at first base, where he had basically never played before, was the equivalent of pouring a half-empty water bottle on the flames.
