Swisher to the Braves?

I found this on the NY POST.  

The Braves, shut out all over the place this offseason, are among the teams that like Nady and, especially, Swisher.

In trades, the Yanks should now try to add multi-dimensional players who can help across the diamond such as the Angels' Chone Figgins (who might even be able to start in center) and Atlanta's Martin Prado.

I have an idea

How about we just sign your avatar. It sure would make losing much more palatable.

i dont think theres is any disagreement here…. can we get some kind of petition… theres no way his avatar can have a lower slg than Blanco

It's not just going to cost Prado

Yanks want OF prospects. I wouldn’t include any of our big 3, but I’d include Cody Johnson. If Cody + Prado gets it done, I’d do it in a second.

Got a 360 for Xmas? If so, welcome to the club.

I bought COD4 last week, but after playing COD5 at my brothers house yesterday I wish I had gotten it instead. COD4 is fun though. Still prefer Gears.

Royhobbs, gonna need your gamertag so we can play some Left 4 Dead.

If you want to just plow through the main quest it’d probably take like 15 hours. But the side quests are what makes it great.

Besides, it’s not like I spend my time doing anything else.

LOved it personally. It has been a polarizing game for a lot of people but I enjoyed how it played and the story was really good. The combat was a mix of old PoP and Assassin’s Creed

Swisher would be good. He’s got pop. I would personally like Hideki Matsui though. Would you walk Chipper to get to Matsui? We can use a veteran like Matsui more than another young bat. We got too many young bats.

I'm a big Swisher fan

Good OBP, will hit for some power, and plays a good corner outfield.

More importantly, this is what his girlfriend looks like:

She looks solid in the bottom pic. In the top pic, it looks like she is crosseyed.

She does look kinda cross-eyed. The magic of an angle shot + photoshop help for the bottom one.

i changed my mind he has a great OBP which is more important then average

ill be convinced when he busts out somehting beyond wins and ERA

Get Nady

If I had to choose between Nady and Swisher, I would take Nady. He has more pop then Swisher and is younger and is not a free agent anytime soon. Nady does not solve our outfield problems and as a cleanup hitter but he would def. be an upgrade in LF. But like every rumor, this is just speculation.

by AlRoBraves95 on Dec 28, 2008 2:06 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Nady is a free agent after 09.

by cbwilk on Dec 28, 2008 2:10 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

nady is also 2 years older. but fuck fact checking, right?

by bigjoe on Dec 28, 2008 2:31 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Again really?

More pop? Nady has only 1 more HR in 58 more AB’s than Swisher better average yes but also his first season with this type of production as opposed to Swisher who had good power numbers in a down hitting year.

by cirela20 on Dec 28, 2008 3:43 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

nady averages 21 HR/162 games. career ISO is .178

swisher averages 28/162 games. career ISO is .208
