The Yankees have signed yet another 1B to add to the mix, in the way of Morgan Ensberg. Ensberg, 32, split last season between the Houston Astros and the San Diego Padres. He has primarily played third base in his career, but the Yankees would be looking at him as a first baseman.

With San Diego, Ensberg finished his season batting .230 with 12 home runs and 39 RBIs in 115 games. A .265 hitter in 703 Major League games, Ensberg’s best season came in 2005, when he batted .283 with 36 home runs and 101 RBIs for the National League champion Astros, earning his only All-Star selection.

So now the Yankees have Jason Giambi, Shelley Duncan and Wilson Betemit on its 40-man roster vying to be the Opening Day first baseman, and Ensberg and Jason Lane now signed to minor league contracts.

We will report back next week when the Yankees sign yet another 1st baseman,
