Cowch Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 02:44 PM) thinking about it, i cant think of a move that KW made this offseason that hasnt worked out. CQ, Linebrink and OC is coming around. The only move i guess that could be viewed negatively was the swisher trade, but for how much heat he received (present party included) he looks like a genius right now. now find a way to get roberts! I'll take Swish's .322 June average. Hopefully he can finish the season around at LEAST .270-.275. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only move i guess that could be viewed negatively was the swisher trade, but for how much heat he received (present party included) he looks like a genius right now. now find a way to get roberts! Swish hasn't hit for average and the power hasn't been there, but at least the guy is still patient and will get on base at a decent rate. Â Also his BABIP IIRC, was way, way low, which means he won't be down at the .220-.230 range at the end of the season. Â If he gets to say 20 HR's and a .250 AVG with an OBP around the .360 mark, and an OPS around .800, that's decent enough for a CF. You'd like more, but with Swish there certainly is the potential for more based on what he has done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had problems with his swing, and Walker has been working with him on that for the past month. The results so far in June indicate that he's turning things around, and he should hit pretty well for the next couple of months in the hot weather. Â He's one of the guys who could easily carry this lineup down the stretch, so I'm excited to see what he'll do for the rest of the season.
