George King from the New York Post has the info. The Yanks, who drafted Henry with their first-round pick in 2005, giving him a 1.6 million, are giving him another chance to succeed in a Yankee uniform.  Henry struggled mightily with the bat in the Yankee organization, and was the centerpiece of the Bobby Abreu trade with the Phillies.  He continued to have problems hitting, and at the age of 21, the Phillies let him go.  The former 2-sport star (like Austin Jackson, a big-time basketball recruit) has great athleticism and tools, and still has the talent to make it to the majors.  However, he will do it as an outfielder, as he has been moved from shortstop to third base and now to the outfield.  It's nice to see the Yankees give Henry another shot, and if he ever makes it to the bigs, it will be a great story.
