A 38 year old Giambi would have performed a little better, for $18 million more. Makes sense for the Yanks, but Swisher is mostly useless as an everyday first baseman. I don't know what their farm system looks like, but if you don't have a guy you can call up to at least deliver league average to sub-average hitting at 1B they've got some serious problems.
Marquez and Nunez may have some upside, and Kenny Williams is going with a 'youth movement' this year, so it makes sense for the Sox too. Now what do do about the aging sluggers and mediocre pitchers making 8 digits and not performing anywhere near what they're being paid...
