I’ve read all over today that Swisher’s numbers were more a reflection of his unhappiness in Chicago. He batted lead-off most of the year because of his ability to walk, but thats not the type of player he is.
All reports say that he is a great clubhouse guy, who is high energy. Sounds like just the prescription the Yanks need. Don’t expect him to be Teixeira, he’s another piece to the puzzle.
Another interesting fact, he seems to be friends with CC. So much for Mike Cameron, I feel like that was half the reason the Yankees wanted him, aside from his defense I can’t imagine what else is so appealing about him…
