Now usually there's no reason in the world for us to much care that the Yanks are making a trade for someone like Swisher to begin with.  However, considering that he is still a starting player, still has power, and is a FIRST BASEMAN by trade, and is young and relatively cheap, one has to wonder: does this mean that the Yankees have gone out and shored up their corner infield for cheap in order to bolster an offer for Sabathia?  And does this invariably mean that our biggest competition for Teixeira is suddenly...gone?

What do you think?
