Talk about a career move: Idiot Al "The Torture Guy" just had his first big-league AB, pinch-hitting for the Yankees--tapping a weak grounder to short

Oh wait, this was Alberto Gonzalez, with two "z"s. Never mind.

Unless . . . wait, here's a thought. Maybe the various congressional committees seeking testimony from Idiot Al about his tenure as attorney general would like to have the Yankees' Alberto G testify. He should be able to give them at least as much information.

For what it's worth, the scouting report on our Alberto says he's a slick fielder, maybe not exactly a dynamo of a hitter.*

*"Any discussion of Alberto Gonzalez begins with defense. Alberto Gonzalez has one of the best infield arms in the minor leagues: a certified cannon. I heard one person compare his arm to Cal Ripken's. He doesn't have phenominal range, but he is above average to both sides. Combined, Alberto Gonzalez is one of the top defensive shortstops in baseball. On the other side of the ball, Gonzalez isn't as bad as other defensive wizards of the minors. . . ."
