MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 traded for Jef Marquez. Great deal, Swisher is coming off a bad year so the white sox sold low. I never thought Marquez would be anything more than a spot starter long reliever in the majors. Great fucking move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsOnParade Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 mad good deal, swisher is gonna loosen up so much shit in the yankee clubhouse, hit .260, 20-26 HRS and a .370 OBP... Even better that this frees up some money for Sabathia... Don't have to waste it on Texieria now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 expect he'll be seen on page 6 as much as the back page, the boy's a partier. yep, he is a lot like Jason Giambi, both on and off the field. Power hitter who walks and k's a lot, can play first base and party his ass off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jranieli Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I guess Tex is out of the picture... Â He also plays the outfield, I guess that takes Abreu out of the picture, who the Mets might be interested in. :brooding: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 its a great move. swisher will not be playing first base thats for sure. He is a very good corner outfielder and Im pretty sure thats where he'll play...Abreu is not coming back. Now they just saved a ton of scratch so it looks like CC and Tex are very much in the picture. Its a great deal. Trading a bum like Bettermeat, a guy who projects to never be a good major league pitcher and a decent relief prospect for a 27 year old major leaguer with 30+ HR power that walks his ass off and leads the league in pitches per plate appearance is highway robbery.

Ditto Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Swisher is a hard nose player that should give the Yankees a well needed personality boost, but I was hoping to re-sign Abreu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liek Abrue too, he was the perfect guy to hit in front of the rod, but this is good deal. Swisher is a better outielder than Abreu, has more power, walks just as much and sees even more pitches. He easily replaces abreu I dont think he will bat 3rd, but he could. even though his BA was low last year, he ha a high line drive ratio so it was just bad luck. he hit the ball hard most of the time.
