Pena, Hinske, Ensberg?

PrintEnsberg seems to fit the mold of the Carlos Pena and Eric Hinske signings. Career .830 OPS, .912 v. left-handers, has had a few good years, but recently a few bad ones. Could he be the guy the Rays sign to a minor league contract who resurrects his career with a big year?
Also, the Rays have 3 open spots on their 40-man roster, in addition to guys like Jason Hammel and Jae Kuk Ryu who don't have any options left and probably won't bee on the team on Opening Day, plus Jake McGee who will be placed on the 60-day DL, leaving us with 6(!) open spots on the 40-man roster for Opening Day. If we assume the Rays sign a full-time DH, then there are still 5 spots. My hope is that Andy is going to invite a lot of players (Ensberg, Rheinecker, etc.) to minor league deals with invites to ST who have a real chance to have an impact. This is especially relevant for relievers.

I was for Ensberg last off season
but after his performance in AAA this year, i would say it wouldnt be worth the time

He has really fallen down since his 2005 season.
There isn’t really a need for a corner infielder,and only if there was injury. Give him only a minor league contract at best as an emergency back up.
