Player Notes
June 12, 2008
Ben Broussard has reportedly been claimed by the Cubs, according to ESPN 1000 Radio. He has been signed to a minor league deal.

Our View:Broussard has experience in the outfield, as he played 10 games in left field in 2007, and he could be tried out in left for the Cubs at some point while Alfonso Soriano is on the shelf.
June 11, 2008
The Yankees have released Ben Broussard just two weeks after signing him. Broussard didn't appear in a game for the Yanks.

Our View:Broussard should find a team willing to sign him, but he might not make it back to the big leagues this year.
May 27, 2008
The New York Yankees signed veteran first baseman Ben Broussard to a minor league contract, according to CBSSports.com.

Our View:The Yankees, currently using a platoon system at first base, signed Broussard on Tuesday and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton.
May 15, 2008
Ben Broussard cleared waivers and should find himself with another team within the next couple of days, according to the Star Telgram.

Our View:Broussard's new club will only have to pay a prorated portion of his salary while the Rangers will have to pick up the vast majority of it for a player that hit .159 with three home runs for them this year.
May 9, 2008
According to the Star Telegram, Ben Broussard lost is spot in the platoon at first base earlier this week, and now he has lost his spot on the Texas Rangers' roster. The Opening Day first baseman was designated for assignment Thursday after struggling the past four weeks at the plate and in the field.

Our View:The Rangers activated infielder Travis Metcalf from the 15-day disabled list to take Broussard's spot on the 25-man roster.
