Don't miss Swish

Nick Swisher's next assignment with the Yankees won't be at pitcher. He's likely the Yankees' starter in right field now that Xavier Nady's elbow issue could be season-ending.

Fantasy Impact: Nady's value obviously plummets with the news he could miss all of '09. Swisher is intriguing, to say the least. He's a streaky hitter who's belted 35 homers in a single major league season, but he's also a .246 career hitter who rolled out a .219/.332/.410 line in 2009. If he's on the waiver wire, nab him as a fourth outfielder. A good Yankee lineup around Swisher, coupled with a short porch in right at New Yankee Stadium could provide for some fantasy help.
