    He picked Swisher over Kazmir only because he wouldn't have been able to afford Kazmir.

    But since the Mets, who had the pick right before Oakland, were interested in Swisher, he had to find a way to convince them to take Kazmir so they wouldn't nab Swisher.

    Kazmir is gonna be a star but if he was drafted by Oakland he would have held out.

            Great stuff highlight_reel, I LOVED it. I am a huge Yankee fan and even started a Yankee site, but I respect Beane more than ANY GM in baseball. He is great. Seeing you seem to be a huge Beane fan like myself, and I am not sure if you have seen this article but I am sure you would appreciate it. LINK. There are a few big time Moneyball/Saber heads on my boards and I am sure they would enjoy it, would you mind if I posted your aticle on my site? www.nyyankeefans.com ? Thanks
