Fremont Bound

The Athletics picked up three more prospects to go with the guys they picked up when they sent Danny Haren to Arizona.  This time is was Moneyballer Nick Swisher who’s sent out of town and in return, the Athletics get pitching prospects Gio Gonzalez and Fautino De Los Santos in addition to outfielder Ryan Sweeney.  All three guys were at the top of the White Sox prospect list and Sweeney and Gonzalez are major league ready.  Swisher was one of my favorites and while it looks like the A’s are writing off 2008, the future looks very, very bright if a few of these guys pan out.
