... he’d be an outstanding fit. 20 players signed, $93.25 million committed (+$7M) Step 2: Trade OF-L Jordan Schafer, IF-L Kelly Johnson, and LHP Jose Ortegano to the New York Yankees for OF-S Nick Swisher. It was a couple of weeks ago now that we got a tantalizing tweet from USA Today’s Bob Nightengale saying the Yankees were “ever so quietly” shopping Nick Swisher . The Bombers can...

... ETA: He will get his chance in spring training 2010 with the Braves. He could follow the path of Jordan Schafer and make the club out of camp, or he could follow the path of Tommy Hanson and get some triple-A seasoning with an eye towards a mid-year call-up.

I don’t see Brandon Hicks, Freddie Freeman, Travis Jones, or any of the Gwinnett infielders making the club with the possible exception of Diory Hernandez, who doesn’t qualify. A Gwinnett outfielder could, but Reid...

... injuries to play through and which injuries not to play through. Wrist injuries, like the one Jordan Schafer also suffered, should be brought to the trainer's attention much earlier. We don't want a system of kids who are afraid to play, but we also don't want those kids playing through an injury that will set them back more than if they had sat out a few days when it first occurred....
