I have a feeling Matsui or Swisher will be dealt next....

[bringingthehuge]

I like Swisher he's a real hard nose player who is well rounded. So they will probably trade him

What burns my ass is the Rangers ran off two good first basemen ( Carlos Pena and Adrian Gonzales) because they had Teixeira and they knew they were`nt going to be able to sign him. O well I`ve watching them do the same thing for 37 yrs.
