Watching the ALCS and listening to the accoldaes being tossed at Swisher. How great of a teammate he is, how he fits in perfectly, how he busts balls, how they bust them back.
Sounds to me a bit like Ozzie coudln't take someone else busting balls.

He's been a solid contributor to the Yankees. "Dirty 30" may have a WS ring for 2009 in a couple weeks. If he's WS MVP, do the Sox bring back his worm commercials and build a statue outside the park, to capitalize on his notoriety??

The guy had a terrible year for the Sox in 2008.
AWFUL......he was expected to actually produce here....anything he does for the Yankees with all of their hitters is gravy.

If Xavier Nady was healthy, Swisher would have been the 4th OF/backup 1st baseman like he was here.

I would have thought that new Yankee Stadium effect for pull hitters would have somehow goofed up his stats. Oddly he hit a lot of his homers on the road.

Swisher did what he always does, hit home runs and walk. His numbers are very similar to what they were last season. He had a spike in doubles (thanks to the ballpark) which led to a modest spike in rbi and slugging.

His approach is terrible but his results are moderately average. It's hard to say if his clown demeanor helps or hurts a team, probably nil effect.

It's easy to hit better when you're in the lower part of that lineup and always batting with someone on base and getting pitches to hit.

yeah, .743 OPS is similar to .896. :drunken:

Post subject:  Re: Swisher
.869 OPS and that was in large part due to his increase in doubles which led to an .088 increase in slugging %.

The difference betwwen 869 and 743 in OPS is the difference between Derek Lee and Michael Barrett

Career wise for reference

Yeah. Saw that the first time. The point is 126 points is not Modest

Post subject:  Re: Swisher
Reading is a skill. I said rbi and slugging is a modest increase. If the rise in slugging was due to a large increase in home runs instead of doubles it would be different.

Like last year with the White Sox, he has an absolutely dreadful 2nd half of the season.

Jackass Swisher is what, 1 for the Minnesota series and 0 for the Angels series....He was one of the biggest clowns ever to play for the Sox....
