The New York Yankees buffed their bench Friday, signing utility infielder Miguel Cairo to a one-year contract worth $750,000.
Able to play any position on the diamond, Cairo batted .239 with 30 RBIs in 81 games with the Yankees last season. He will serve as the club's main backup to shortstop Derek Jeter, third baseman Alex Rodriguez and second baseman Robinson Cano.
Cairo, 32, is a career .268 hitter with 27 homers and 280 RBIs while being bounced around for 11 seasons with the Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets.

Miguel will play. He'll step in when Bitch-rod breaks a nail.
I do believe that's the plan.
