The Orioles haven't made a move yet, but Hall is in the clubhouse Wednesday afternoon and could provide some depth with Lew Ford nursing a groin injury.

Yankees signed INF Bill Hall to a minor league contract. It was reported first by Hall himself, on his peronal Twitter account, then confirmed by Erik Boland of Newsday. The 32-year-old will function as a utilityman in 2012 for the Yankees after batting .211/.261/.314 in 199 plate appearances between the Astros and Giants last season. He's doubtful to hold any mixed league fantasy value.

According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Yankees are in "serious talks" with Bill Hall. Hall posted a hideous .211/.261/.314 batting line in 199 plate appearances between the Astros and Giants last year. He's claiming to be in improved shape, however, and he hit 18 home runs in 120 games just one season ago. Rosenthal's sources say the Yankees are viewing him as a potential big league utilityman.
