Nick Swisher
ESPN.com reports that the Yankees have aquired 1B/OF Nick Swisher and minor league relief pitcher Kanekoa Texeira for 3B Wilson Betemit and minor leaguer pitchers Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez.
Swisher, one of the stars of Michael Lewis' best-seller Moneyball, finished dead last among all starting position players (502+ ABs) with a batting average of .219 in 2008. But before Yanks fans write him off as Giambi Jr. minus the power, it's important to note that Swisher is very versatile (starting at every OF position and 1B in 2008) and has posted a solid OPS of .805 for his career.
I guess trading Scott Proctor wasn't such a bad idea after all..
