First of all, let me say, I like the trade. I’ve never been a huge Hairston fan so I’m not sad to see him go. And Phil Nevin is having a better year than most of the Cubs starting line-up. He started out on a tear and has definitely cooled as of late (2 for his last 25 AB - both home runs). He will add some pop to a power-hungry Cubs lineup. It will also move Todd Walker back to his natural position which is always good. I think Nevin will also make a good pinch hitter coming off the bench. Definitely better than Michael Restovic and Neifi Perez. Welcome to Chicago Phil Nevin.
