Brian Cashman, You Devil!
The Outsiders Look at the Insides of Baseball —
On afternoon of Free Agency, the New York Yankees completed a trade to replace Jason Giambi, acquiring Nick Swisher and Kanekoa Texeira from the Chicago White Sox for Wilson Betemit (one of my favorite players), and Minor League pitchers Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez.

At this point, it appears obvious that Williams paid a lot more then he received for the slugger. Let's look at what Williams received for Swisher first. Wilson Betemit has power, nobody would argue ...

Nick Swisher to the Yankees
The Diamond Fan —

Cashman says that this does not rule out going after Mark Teixeira, but realistically I think it makes it highly improbable. I’ve always thought Teixeira’s most likely destination is to remain in Anaheim, and this makes that outcome even more unlikely. I also think it means the Yankees are ...

In an article about the Yankees acquiring Nick Swisher from the White Sox, entitled, "Yanks acquire Swisher from White Sox", MLB.com writer Anthony DiComo described Betemit as a "utility man" and wrote that Nunez was, "...a reliever who struck out 26 batters in 19 1/3 Double-A innings," but it was Marquez, who was (15-9) at Double-A Trenton in '07, who seems to be the centerpiece of the trade, as Mr. DiComo writes: ...
