Yankees take flier on Willie Calhoun: What you need to know

In case you missed it, the left field-needy Yankees have added an outfielder a few days ago. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported the team had signed … drumroll please … former Rangers prospect Willie Calhoun.

Oh, and on a minor league contract.

Most Yankees fans are probably groaning at this. Calhoun, 28, has never caught on in the majors despite being a former top prospect. He’s played in just 257 games in six years with Texas and the Giants. Last year, he managed just 24 games with both the Rangers and San Francisco.
