What I find hard to swallow:

Leads the team in homers and batting cleanup.

Well, already beat you to it, and with proper information. It is a deal with Toronto.

That is because their normal cleanup hitter - Kelly Johnson - is on the DL.

I love Nick -- LOVE him -- but batting a guy who has 5 XBH cleanup is pathetic.
