March 5, 200818 yr Does anybody love this guy as much as I do?? I was reading an article on MLB.com and I cant help but get excited to have this guy on our team this season...Already turning into one of my favorite players, I hope he just f***ing tears it up this year I'm dying to get this season going.
March 5, 200818 yr One of my favorite already as well. I got the chance to go out drinking with him, Danks, and Owens during SoxFest. He is one hell of a good guy. Even exchanged email addresses, and he emailed me that Tuesday after the fest saying how good of a time it was. Totaly awesome guy!

I do know however, that if you email him from his website, he will respond to your email. It might take him time, but he will get back to you sooner or later.
March 6, 200818 yr Nick Swisher is a gamer thats for sure. For him to go up to Ozzie and say "I can't stand to be losing these ST games" says an aweful lot. This dude cares, he has fun and he will make an imediate impact. He will be on Sportsnite tonight at 10:30 for an interview. That should be entertaining.

Yea I thought that article and that quote really shows that fiery competitive attitude i think this team seems to lack at times...Im expectin big things from swish
March 6, 200818 yr I like Swisher and think he is a good player, but I really don't think his production next year will help us a whole lot.

March 6, 200818 yr Swisher and Thome will definitely help raise opposing pitchers' pitch counts up earlier this year. You could see guys barely going 6 innings if each Sox batter can average 5 to 8 pitches seen per appearance.
March 6, 200818 yr Does he seem more relaxed at the plate when he plays the corners instead of center? His career splits trend that way but there are not a lot of games. I just thought he had more focused at bats when playing left in the couple of clips I've seen this spring, so I looked it up. He's only 17 AB into meaningless ST games, but has anyone else noticed this?

Nick and I also talk via email. He just sent me a reply back actually.

March 10, 200818 yr Looking forward to getting the season started to see Swisher's production at the Cell.
