Quick hit: Francisco is on his way to Tampa

Joel Sherman just reported that the Yankees have signed Ben Francisco and that he is on his way to Florida. Francisco, who will be competing for an outfield spot, was just released by the Cleveland Indians.

Francisco played with Toronto, Houston and Tampa Bay last year and batted .234/.282/.402/.684 in 51 games.

    Minor league deal, so it can't hurt. Career average hitter against lefties and righties.
