Richie Sexson: Cut Loose by Yankees
Sexson was released by the Yankees on Friday, the Westchester Journal-News reports.
ANALYSIS
He'll likely catch on elsewhere as a platoon option against left-handed pitching, but he'll have to land in a team with a very dire first base situation in order to see everyday playing time.

It's hard to understate just how bad Sexson played last year. Not only was he by far the worst everyday first basemen in baseball, his .205 average was the lowest in the majors (min. 375 PA). Among first basemen, he ranked last in average, OBP (.295) and OPS (.694) and was third-worst in slugging percentage (.399). In 123 at-bats with runners in scoring position, he had 12 XBH and batted .187, third-worst in the majors. Only a late-season injury finally ended the misery and kept him from having to battle the Mendoza Line in September. The Mariners tried to trade him in the offseason, but found no takers, even while reportedly willing to pick up two-thirds of the $14 million owed in 2008. Perhaps he has nowhere to go but up, but if he starts the season struggling again, don't expect the Mariners to stick with him as long as they did last year.
