Fantasy Impact:
Nick Swisher was never a success in Cleveland and this deal is more about the Indians' dumping (or at least swapping) unfavorable contracts. Swisher is still on the DL and unpopular roster decisions would have to be made when he was ready to return. Nick Swisher has a .198/.261/.297 slash line, having gone 20-for-101 with two home runs. It is difficult to see where he fits in an NL lineup.
