Gipson is an extremely versatile defensive replacement. He can play all positions well except 1B and C (.971 career FPCT), and has decent speed on the basepaths. He makes the Yankees' bench deeper, especially with interleague play and the necessity for pinch hitters, runners, and defensive replacements in the NL games.
He just can't hit for shit (.236 career BA) and therefore will NEVER be a regular for anyone, unless he suddenly finds an eye and a swing.
