It seems like there is more to this perhaps. As good as it looked like Swish was for the clubhouse on the surface, maybe the people in there grew tired of his act? Certainly possible.

This was a baseball decision, Swisher didn't perform so we dumped him. There is no reason to believe Swisher pissed anyone in the organization off with anything other than his play.

I guess the real question is; how will Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Joe Girardi react to the rally sodomized blow up dolls and the Dirty Cat salon? Poor Nick, it almost seems like Kenny dealt him to the Yankees out of spite.

At least Clemens is gone. That would be awful for Nick.

Whats semi ironic about all this is Williams is usually on the other end of these trades, buying low on a player that has fallen out of favor.....

 

Betemit could be considered that. Former top prospect with still some mega potential. Only problem is that it's been awhile since he's been good, and I don't see Walk fixing him.

Walker wont do s*** for Betemit. It's all about the launching pad we play in.

I think MLB is forcing us to keep walker to balance out coop.

he just did. Marquez was a very highly touted pitcher for the Yanks who really has just had a bit of injury trouble. He is a very good "Coop fixed him" candidate to possibly fit in the rotation which is getting younger.

I'm not sure what to think. Swisher was bad but he looked like PK's replacement at 1B. However, they still may trade PK, stick Viciedo at 3B if they get him, then put Betemit at 1B. However, what do we do in CF now? I figured we'd be getting Melky in return when I heard we dealt Nick to New York.

 

How is Wilson's defense?

Swish in New York and with the Yankees is such a bad fit though. His act seems like a bad fit for New York AND the Yankees clubhouse, plus his best quality is his ability to walk and pitchers are going to try to avoid walking him at all costs considering the talent around him in that lineup and where he will hit in it. Maybe he will find Giambi's HGH stache.

This seems like a case of KW cutting his losses. The sox must think Swisher isn't going to rebound to hit like he did in Oakland. Hopefully, the players turn out and help the sox. But it's early to tell. Betemit seems like a decent option at 3b. I don't know much about his glove, which the sox need. That may make Fields expendable.

I feel confident in saying that would be the weakest corner infield in the game and possibly one of the worst of all time.

c- AJ

1b- betemit

2b- chris getz

ss- alexei ramirez

3b- dayan viciedo

 

we might get a total of 40 HR's from our entire IF if that were the case. it would be comical.
