Yeah, I remember when he was added mulling long and hard over the decision to allow him to stay. In the end it was the fact that he only got to play about half as long as he probably should have that swayed the decision. 22 WAR all up is within acceptable limits, but only just. Again, he's far from a household name even though many may remember him from that key time in MLB history on a Yankees team that was coming to the end of a period of domination. But he really was only a footnote to that team, and therefore more than deserving of his spot IMHO, especially given he wasn't rated off the charts or anything - mid 60s OVR / POT in this league.
