Back in the day

I'd like to think that most people know that in exchange for Kevin Brown, Yhency (and others) came to the Dodgers via a trade with the Yankees. However, I don't know how many realize that just a couple of years before that trade, Yhency was actually an outfielder with them darned Yanks. Here he is, featured on an old Bowman card in all of his offensive-minded glory. Not sure about the autograph on the card, as he spells his name "Yhensi."



Nice looking swing, Yhency! Almost Griffey-esque in the follow-through. However, the best picture is on the back of the card, in which he features a full-on sneer:



As part of his mental rehab in preparation for the 2007 season, I think Yhency needs to channel the inner beast he displays in this picture so that he can intimidate hitters and pitch the way we all know he's capable.
