April 14, 200916 yr I believe a gun has him at 84 or something like that in one of the clips. Edit: Clip I posted showed 77, 79, and 80. Edited April 14, 200916 yr by JorgeFabregas
April 14, 200916 yr That video clip was full of bad signs for the yankees! i love it! and i still love swish even if his stay was less than successful
April 14, 200916 yr the departures of crede and swisher really point out how the city felt about those guys...IMO crede got just tons of credit for being a below average player in his time here, and nobody got less credit for hitting 25 HR with a respectable OBP while playing adequate defense at a huge position of need than nick swisher....i mean even in crede's best season (2006) he wasn't THAT much better than the 1 season swisher was here...and in every other year crede was here, a legit arguement can be made that he was worse than swisher was last year Edited April 14, 200916 yr by daa84
April 14, 200916 yr Swisher got the Sox Viciedo. Nuff said. Obviously, Swisher will be much better than last year and far more in line with his career averages. I'd also say that he'd look really good in CF right now. However, I don't fault the Sox from moving them but clearly it was a deal that didn't work out for the Sox (since I'd rather have Sweeney and Viciedo (had we never made the deal, the Sox would have had money for Viciedo). But I loved the move at the time and no one knew how awful Swish would be last year.
