At least that's what John Sickels says about the move . As he does every season, Sickels has been posting each team's top twenty prospects. Today is (not-so-coincidentally) White Sox day. Except that in posting his list of the White Sox top twenty today, you can see that now three of the top five are now in Oakland's system, which means that Nick Swisher is not going cheaply to Chicago. One ...

Weekend Hot Stove — My Pinstripes
Chicago White Sox G.M. Kenny Williams categorically denies it , but rumor has it Williams is talking to his Angels' counterpart Tony Reagins about Paul Konerko . When he was acquired the other day, Nick Swisher was told he would playing a lot of centerfield for Chicago, but if Konerko is moved, there's always the possibility Swisher could become the White Sox every day 1st Baseman.

Catfish Stew: A's Trade Banjo Man to Minnesota for Three Young Musicians — Baseball Toaster

Flushing University: Even More Irrational Omar Bashing — BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
Everybody join in now for some nonsensical Punk Bashing Boogie!
Which brings us to yesterday’s Nick Swisher trade.
While we all knew that Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics were going to clean house, Nick Swisher is a name that never came up ... at least to my ears. So his departure to the White Sox for three good prospects comes as a surprise. But it should be a surprise to you and me. ...
The Friday Night Rumor Mill — Bruce Markusen's Cooperstown Confidential
Oakland’s shocking trade of Nick Swisher to the White Sox has sent a clear message to the rest of baseball: just about any salaried veteran on the A’s is available for the right package of young talent. Swisher and Dan Haren, two of the biggest names on Billy Beane’s roster, represent merely the beginning of Oakland’s exodus. We can now expect Joe “Bulldog” Blanton, Rich Harden, Huston ...
Phase 1: White Sox Make Trade. Phase 2: ? — Fire Jay Mariotti
Phase 3: Jay Mariotti gets made fun of here. Acknowledged, people are writing about far more interesting and mainstream things around now. But "journalists" just can't write these things and get away with them! I'm sorry! Jaybird, tell us, using as much anti-Sox spin as possible , why they got burned by Billy Beane in the Swisher deal? Did Beane snooker Williams again? Hot damn, Hawkeroo. ...
Friday Hot Stove — My Pinstripes
It's been a bit since we've taken a look at the non-Yankees hot stove, primarily because NOTHING has been going on, but here we go. Eric Chavez is pissed and who can blame him. The A's have already dealt their best pitcher, Dan Haren , and their best slugger, Nick Swisher . When asked if he thought the A's would sign Barry Bonds , Chavez's response said it all . "If he's in uniform next ...
Politics — ShysterBall
Between the Nick Swisher trade and Britney's standoff, I somehow missed that some kind of contest or whatever was going on in Iowa yesterday. Huh. While I have no intention of allowing politics to seep into the otherwise unspoiled beauty that is ShysterBall, I will probably let-fly with some occasional, random, and primarily non-partisan political links between now and November. I mean, I ...
BASEBALL: Back To The Drawing Board — Baseball Crank
Billy Beane's decision to deal Nick Swisher to the White Sox, on the heels of the Dan Haren trade, shows that he's absolutely serious about going back to Square One, taking the A's to the cellar and rebuilding from scratch. I wonder if Eric Chavez, with the team's biggest contract, will be next; although I suspect Chavez has a no-trade clause he might be willing to waive that if a stretch in ...
Swisher’s Returns: Gio Gonzalez — A Minor Consideration
Just as we did with the Dan Haren trade, we’ll be breaking down the recent Nick Swisher swap player-by-player. If Billy Beane’s plans come to fruition as he expects, you’ll need to know just who these guys are when they’re leading the A’s through the playoffs in, oh… about 2010 or 2011.
The first player we’ll look over is left-handed starting ...
— El Guapo's Ghost Rambles on about the Red Sox
FIRE SALE Billy Beane is cleaning house . He traded a classic Oakland player - Nick Swisher. He is a high OBP, work the count slugger that plays an above average corner outfielder and is under contract at a below market rate. The trade also tells me that Beane could be building a better mouse trap or finding a new undervalued baseball skill. As for the Sox, Rich Harden should be a target at ...
Trade Puts Swisher In Line For A Big 2008 — Fantasy Sports Experience
At FSE, we couldn't have imagined a more appropriate starting point than today's trade of Nick Swisher to the Chicago White Sox. You see, Phil and I, we were big on Nick Swisher coming into the 2007 season. Big enough that we both had him pegged as a first round selection in our keeper league which features two keepers per team. Our infatuation with Swisher was a product of his finish ...
A's Deal Swisher, We're Slackers — Babes Love Baseball
Yeah, so we dropped off the face of the earth for a few days... and you'll have that after the New Year has been rung in and whatnot. But we're back! Three weeks after sending Dan Haren to the Diamondbacks , the Oakland Athletics have made another big trade. They've sent fan favorite Nick Swisher to the Chicago White Sox for three prospects. That's their best pitcher and hitter for nine ...
Was Swisher Price Too High? — Bugs & Cranks
It’s hard to make a complete assessment of today’s trade for outfielder Nick Swisher as Kenny Williams certainly has at least one more major trade to make prior to opening day.
Adding Swisher to the outfield mix eliminates the remote possibility that Josh Fields could return to the outfield should the Sox decide to start the season with Joe Crede at third base. It’s only a matter of time ...
Swisher Trade — Fantasy Sports Experience
The Oakland A's surprised a bunch of people on Thursday trading Nick Swisher to the White Sox for 3 minor leaguers. Following the trade of Dan Haren to the Diamondbacks a couple weeks ago, I think everyone figured the A's would continue to make more trades and rebuild, that was no surprise to anyone. More specifically, I think most people, like me, thought the next guy to get traded from the ...
SWISHER TRADE ANALYSIS — Zoner Sports
Just about every season Ken Williams pulls off a trade that no one sees coming. And this year’s deal brings talented hitter Nick Swisher to the South Side.
Swisher hit 35 bombs in 2006. He hit only 22 last year, but his doubles increased by 12. He’s drawn 197 walks in the past 2 seasons, and he’s coming to a hitter’s park. He’s also wrapped up until 2011 with ...
The Swisher trade — Lone Star Ball
I leave for a couple of hours to do a deposition, come back, and discover another big A.L. West trade has gone down... Nick Swisher is now a White Sock, being dealt to Chicago by the A's for Gio Gonzalez, Fautino de los Santos, and Ryan Sweeney. According to Cot's, Swisher is under contract for $3.5 million in 2008, $5.3 million in 2009, $6.75 million in 2010, and $9 million for 2011, with a ...
Beane vs. The White Sox, Again — skyking162
Nick Swisher was just traded to the White Sox for two excellent pitching prospects (one who’s almost ready for the big leagues and one who’s a couple years away) and a mediocre outfield prospect. Who won the trade? I’m going to say that the White Sox received more total value, but the A’s made the smarter trade.
Nick Swisher is really good ( four wins in ‘07 ) ...

Nick Swisher
We acquired outfielder Nick Swisher today in a trade with the Oakland A's, sending them Gio Gonzalez, Fautino De Los Santos and Ryan Sweeney in return.
A switch-hitter, Swisher has pop (22 home runs, 36 2B in 2007) and gets on base, which has been one of our needs. He can play all three outfield positions, as well as first base, and played ...
