As has been reported by multiple sources, the Yankees are on the verge of landing OF/1B Lance Berkman from Houston. The two players involved haven't been named so far, but when they do, you'll know where to look.

The lineup today:

Christian - LF
Krum - CF
Romine - C
Laird - 3B
Brewer - RF
Vechionacci - 1B
Cusick - DH
Nunez - SS
Snyder 2B
Noesi - P

Stay tuned for any changes.

6:34: Jimmy Paredes has been scratched from the lineup in Charleston. That's weird, considering they just landed a speedy shortstop from the Phillies for Oswalt. Also, Kevin Russo is not in Scranton's lineup.

Russo and Paredes is an interesting package for sure. Pretty darn cheap, but that's apparently how the Astros work these days.

6:46: Here's video of Jimmy Paredes, one of the players who seems to be headed Houston's way. He's only there for one pitch against Lakewood's Brody Colvin, but it's what I have.



9:11 The New York Post is now reporting that Mark Melancon, not Kevin Russo, is in the deal for Berkman. Nice kid, that Melancon, but certainly expendable.
