News and Notes

Oct 29
Manager Joe Girardi has decided to bench Nick Swisher for Game 2 of the World Series due to his playoff slump, and replace him with Hairston, the Associated Press reports. Recommendation: Hairston, who will probably bat toward the bottom of the order, is 10 for 27 in his career against Phillies starter Pedro Martinez. Meanwhile, Swisher is hitting an unsightly .114 in the postseason. |
