Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

Nick Swisher out of a job?

Rotowire -

Swisher does not currently have an everyday place in the lineup with the Yankees, the Westchester Journal-News reports. Barring a trade -- of either himself or one of the team's outfielders -- Swisher will likely be seeing time in right behind Xavier Nady, left when Johnny Damon needs a day off and in center if Melky Cabrera or Brett Gardner struggle. The Yankees have expressed a willingness to keep him around if they don't receive a suitable offer, so he may have to way for an injury to create an opportunity for more at-bats.

Wow.  I find it hard to believe that Swish is really going to sit on the bench all year long, something has to give right?

I figured either he or Nady (or Cabrera I suppose) would be gone by now.  Think the Yankees are asking for too much, or are teams legitimately not interested in any of them?

Swisher Yuni and one of our many, many relievers?

After having written this, I’m realizing this is really, really wishful thinking.

I would like this to happen to, though.

It would beat signing Griffey by a ton, but they wouldn’t have a place for Yuni either. The reliever thing may entice them. Maybe like Washburn + young relievers or something.

With Pettitte re-signing, the Yankee rotation is full.

C.C.
Burnett
Wang
Joba
Pettitte

So, unfortunately, I don’t think there is any fit with the Mariners and Yankees anymore. Swisher being placed on waivers is the best we could hope for (and then that depends on where we are standing in line).

We would be first in line (worst AL record)

but there’s no way Swisher is placed on waivers.

Is the line determined by the prior year's record or up to the day?

I assume in the 09 offseason they use the 08 records, but how do they determine it during the season?
