Tankersley refused a minor league assignment in October which led to his free agency.
He appeared in 27 games last season, posting a 7.50 ERA. He missed all of the 2009 season after suffering a stress fracture in his left elbow.
Tankersley will be competing for a spot in the bullpen, where he could serve as a lefty specialist, thanks to Hisanori Takahashi and Pedro Feliciano signing with the Angels and Yankees respectively.
The only other lefties in the bullpen (at this time) are Pat Misch and Oliver Perez, and with that kind of competition, I would say things may be looking good for Mr. Tankersley going into Spring Training.
