Yankees added Eric Hinske and Brian Bruney to the World Series roster, subtracting Freddy Guzman and Francisco Cervelli.
Playing under NL rules in Philadelphia makes pinch-hitting Hinske more valuable than pinch-running Guzman. By adding Bruney the Yankees have expanded to 12 pitchers after Cervelli got just one plate appearance through the first two rounds.

The Yankees are considering adding Eric Hinkse or Brian Bruney to the World Series roster.
The Yankees could also stick with pinch-runner extraordinaire Freddy Guzman, but since the pinch-hitter becomes more valuable in the National League style of play, expect them to opt for Hinske. While it's unlikely, Hinske also offers an alternative for designated hitter or right field, should Nick Swisher and Hideki Matsui continue to struggle. The only way Bruney would make the roster is if the Yankees decide to go with 12 pitchers.
