ORIGINAL: Stacey King The Yankees elevated Chris Parmelee from Scranton-Wilkes Barre (Triple-A) to take Teixeira’s roster spot over Nick Swisher, who was also at SWB. In 43 games for SWB the 28-year-old left-handed hitting Parmelee hit .252 (38-for-151) with seven homers, 21 RBIs and a .787 OPS. To make room on the 40-man roster for Parmelee, the Yankees shifted Ackley to the 60-day DL. In 305 big league games Parmelee is a .245 hitter. He has played for the Twins and Orioles. “Performance,’’ Cashman said of why Parmelee over Swisher, who scouts have noticed Swisher’s lack of mobility due to knee problems. “(Parmelee) has performed at a higher level. We love Swish but it turns out right now Parmelee put himself in position.’’ Kinda hard to believe Swisher is doing the AAA thing at this stage of his rather storied career. I'm impressed with his desire to work. Never thought he'd take that either Matt., Maybe hasn't saved a whole lotta cash yet ... [:D] Doesn't seem like a big spender to me. And he has a broadcasting career waiting for him. ?? Money for nothing, chicks for free? Seems to me like a guy who's spent every dime and then some. Nope. Shrewd. Talks the big life, but lives on the frugal. Smart guy. Secret Democrat.
