Swisher gives the Reds an outfielder who plays 4 position (3OF -1B) and a player that could hit 25+HR, 100 BB, 100 Runs and hopefully a 2007 like OPS (.836).
Vazquez makes the bottom 4 and 5 rotation spots even better. I got Vazquez pegged for the #3 spot. One of Cueto/Harang pitches 4th and Arroyo is #5. That would be the best rotation in the NLC.
