Yanks acquired Nick Swisher. They bought low on Swisher, who was coming off a poor year, and didn't give up much to get him(Wilson Betemit and a pair of non-elite pitching prospects). Provided there's nothing damning in Swisher's medical history that hasn't been released, this looks like a potentially very nice pickup. Swisher is patient and provides much needed power upgrade. He's also relatively cheap still.

On the downside, I do not know what the Yankees intend to do with their outfield arrangement. Swisher has played center in the past, but he's stretched there. A Damon-Swisher-Abreu outfield would cost the rotation a lot of runs.

MisterJLA is RACKing awesome.
