I am not a fan of Crede or Swisher as offensively they do the same thing that Quentin, Dye, Thome and Konekro do but not quite as well. This team need guys that can put the bat on the ball and get on base on a regular basis to break up a team's rhythm.
i like swisher, his average leaves something to be desired, but in terms of getting on base hes about as good as they come (especially considering his batting average is so low, mainly due to a fairly low BABIP), and he also sees more pitches per plate appearance than anyone in baseball by a significant margin....its too bad we have him hitting in front of uribe most games because if we swapped him and AJ he'd be on base for the big boppers and allow them to see more of the pitchers pitches...
nice K, huge out here
