The New York Yankees have signed veteran outfielder
Randy Winn to a one-year contract worth a reported... huh, what? Oh, sorry, I passed out from a colossal kind of boredom trying to finish that sentence and bashed my head into the coffee table. Hey look, I have a small bump on my head, and somehow even that is more exciting than the Yankees signing Randy Winn. Sorry Randy, I didn't want to take you in the 20th round of my fantasy draft and I don't really want to talk about you here.
The Dugout follows.

 |
GirardiAndCola: So who is this girl you're engaged to again? |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: Her name's Minka Kelly? She's an actress.
|
 |
GirardiAndCola: oh okay, has she been in anything I might've seen |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: not really, unless you liked Power Rangers Light Speed Rescue. She's on Friday Night Lights. |
 |
GirardiAndCola: The one where Tim McGraw gets pissed and duct tapes a football to some kid's hand? Oh man, that movie is hilarious |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: Not the movie, the TV show. I think it airs on Teen Nick or Noggin or whatever |
 |
GirardiAndCola: There's a TV show AND a movie? I don't know, put it in terms I'm old enough to understand |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: it's exactly like M*A*S*H, except about football and nobody has any body hair |

GirardiAndCola: this is Randy Winn. We signed him to a one year contract worth about 250 bucks |
 |
DoIMakeYouRandy: I'm your new utility outfielder! I'm like the damn Schneider of the outfield! |
 |
GirardiAndCola: and also like Schneider, he's only going to be playing one day at a time. |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: Don't worry, nobody gives a sh** about Randy Winn, we just signed him because of his name. |
 |
DoIMakeYouRandy: Randy? |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: every time you do anything it's a field day for sports reporters. You can work "win" into anything in sports, you don't even have to try |
 |
GirardiAndCola: like when you hit a home run, fifteen guys rush to their computer to type GIANTS "WINN" THE DAY |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: or LAST MINUTE "WINN" |
 |
DoIMakeYouRandy: Whoa, I hit a home run? |
 |
GirardiAndCola: or say you get engaged to Yinka Dare like Jeet over here, it's "WINN" I FALL IN LOVE |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: or when we sign Randy Winn, it's "WINN" WILL THE YANKEES SIGN AN ACTUAL OUTFIELDER |
 |
DoIMakeYouRandy: Huh, never occured to me! Heh! So, do you guys want me to actually play some baseball? |
 |
GirardiAndCola: no, just go over there and stand beside Curtis Granderson until we tell you to move |
 |
DoIMakeYouRandy: Hey, for 250 bucks I'll do whatever you say. How long do you think it'll be? |
 |
JetersNeverProsper: until next year, when we give the money we aren't paying you to Joe Mauer |
