In a shocking turn of events, Brian Cashman makes a GREAT move!
Not only did cash net Swisher, who is an on base MONSTER who is a 30 HR threat (short porch BABY!) He got him for adequate prospects at best. The fact that he conned the Chi Sox to throw in another minor league prospect in this deal (Not the Teixera I was counting on) Is a joke.
If the Yanx slot Swish into RF and Still sign Big Tex. This will be a dream come true. I don't like the move, I LOVE IT...
Here are another few reasons why I love this guy.

BTW...Swisher has a .243 batting average since becoming an everyday player in 2005....Since 2005, only five players have a lower batting average than Swisher... Andruw Jones (.239), Bobby Crosby (.241), Juan Uribe (.241), Khalil Greene (.242) and Brandon Inge (a slightly lower .243).
NICE MOVE CASHMAN!!
Swisher is an upgrade for the yanks only if they use him in center field over melky. He's below MLB average as a first baseman. to me Swisher is clearly the best player in the deal so i like it. just pls don't use this as a reason not to go after teixeira. almost ALL championship teams have better first basemen than swisher.
Btw I don't like dereck lowe or a.j. burnett. although he has great pure stuff burnett is basically a .500 pitcher throughout his career and has had WAY too many injury issues for me to make a comittment. he'll be hurt about as much as he'll pitch over the next 4 years. i don't think Lowe will be that effective as a yankee and will turn out to be one of the many overpayed "Butcher" (Cashman) signings. You have too like C.C. although the fact that he's pitched over 250 innings in each of the last two seasons has to concern you. plus the brewers pitched him on short rest numerous times down the scretch.
I like burnett better than lowe b/c he's younger and has been pitching in the AL east already. Burnett is addition and subtraction from an intradivision foe.
