Will Swisher prevent a play for Tex?

Pinstripe Alley (Free subscription) | 11/15/2008

Brian Cashman intimated that Nick Swisher would be the everyday first-baseman in 2009. He's a switch-hitter with good patience and power, and plays better defense than any Yankee first-baseman since Tino Martinez. He also 'plays' centerfield, and I use quotes because he is rather sub-par out there. It would be a mistake to allow this trade to prevent the Yanks from going after the best...

... networking, asking around, etc. The previous Yankees G.M.’s did this with players like Jimmy Key, Tino Martinez and Paul O’Neill. You ask their former managers. You ask coaches in your system who have worked with the players before…or you ask players in your system, who you trust, who may have played with the player (somewhere) in the past. It’s really not that hard. Pro-baseball...

... on out-thinking the pitcher, and actually use their brains to make up for physical shortcomings (Tino Martinez is a great example of this). If Alex Rodriguez could shut off the logical part of his brain and hit purely on reactions and instincts he'd be unstoppable. Put simply, Ramirez is blessed with the tools to be a great hitter and a brain which won't allow him to screw it up by...

... kept the inning alive. After Bernie Williams struck out, the Yanks’ fortunes rested on the bat of Tino Martinez. The Yanks’ first baseman wasted no time. On the first pitch — BAM! — tie game. Tino’s blast to nearly straight-away center field brought life back to the Yanks. It was his first hit of the series. Kim would allow two more baserunners that inning, but it wouldn’t...
