In response to "Swisher isn't a superstar. But worst case, he's still better than what the Yanks gave up to get him." by musubi

I can agree that they didn't have to give up much to get him.

He's getting bashed because this isn't a player that fills any of the needs that the team has right now. If he was a better hitter there wouldn't be any bashing. But as a Yankee fan I'm tired of them bringing in names that don't produce.

Responses:

It's the start of the offseason, there is *tons* of time to "fill needs". Acquiring talent doesn't stop that at all. - musubi Nov 14, 16:06 6
- He takes a spot on the team that I'd rather see filled by someone else. I don't like what he brings to the team. - krusty Nov 14, 16:10 5
  - Who's gonna produce better for the Yanks in the OF? - musubi Nov 14, 16:15
  - Mediocre to below average is nothing to get excited over. Period. -- nm - Diva Nov 14, 16:13 3
    - That's what the Yanks had before acquiring Swisher, now they at least have league average. - musubi Nov 14, 16:16 2
      - They now have a guy who hit .219 last year - it'll be neat if he can make a significant contribution. atm it doesn't seem impressive at all. -- nm - Diva Nov 14, 16:20 1
        
        I'll bet you anything you want that he'll improve on him 2008 numbers. - musubi Nov 14, 16:25
