Originally drafted in the second round all the way back in 2004, The General, Anthony Swarzak, came to the Braves in a “bad contract” swap at the end of May with Jesse Biddle and Arodys Vizcaino going the other way. He had already been traded once in the offseason as a cash dump by the Mets in the Cano/Diaz extravaganza which won the Mutts the offseason.
What did he do for us?
As a Mariner, Tony was beyond terrible, barely managing a 1.5/1 k/bb ratio and giving up 2.5 homers/9 while calling Safeco home.
