Reports: Yankees to sign Mientkiewicz
Addition of veteran shifts Giambi into full-time DH role in '07
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com

NEW YORK -- The Yankees have reached terms on a tentative deal with first
baseman Doug Mientkiewicz, the New York Daily News and New York Post reported
Thursday.

Mientkiewicz, 32, was reportedly on his way to New York for a physical
examination as a precursor to finalizing a one-year contract with the
Yankees.

A Yankees spokesman said Thursday that the team had nothing to announce, and
a telephone call to Mientkiewicz's agent was not immediately returned.

A left-handed hitter, Mientkiewicz would fill the Yankees' desire for a
reliable glove at first base, perhaps platooning with either Josh Phelps or
Andy Phillips while hitting in the lower third of the lineup. Such an
arrangement would permit Jason Giambi to focus on serving as the Yankees'
full-time designated hitter.

Mientkiewicz batted .283 with four home runs and 43 RBIs in 314 at-bats for
the Royals last season before undergoing season-ending back surgery on Aug.
29.

A career .270 hitter, Mientkiewicz has played in New York before, appearing
in 87 games with the Mets in 2005. He is perhaps best known for his role in
Boston's 2004 World Series victory, having caught the final out from closer
Keith Foulke before becoming involved in a custodial battle over the baseball.
