Nick Swisher?

[Frayed Knot]

Swisher to the Yanx!!! for minor league pitcher Jeff Marquez (and maybe others)

Guess he's depth at 1B, corner OF, or maybe CF -- although they might find it a mistake if they think he's a full-time CF or a bit light-hitting if they think he's a full-time 1B

They will still be in for Tex, right?

No idea about the minor leaguer but was there any market for Swisher?

Loks like the MFYs get Swish + 2 minor league pitchers for Marquez and Wilson F. Betemit.

I don't know what the market was for Swisher. Hitting .219 can do wonders to a guy's value. I'm guessing the White Sox took the Yankees offer because nobody else would take his full contract without unloading a similarly burdensome contract on them.

I'm sadder about the MFYs getting Swisher than I would have guessed. He's one of those players I just like, and it sucks to see him chillin' in the Bronx with Nady.

If it's only type-of-guy-we-need-related, well, there are others.
