I'm a firm believer in having some personality in the clubhouse to keep it loose. I don't think Paulie et al agree with that.
Carl, AJ, Uribe, Blum...seems like they had some genuine characters in the past and Paulie had no problem with that. If Swisher could've backed up his big personality with his play on the field, I think he would've been hugely popular, both with fans and players. For whatever reason, he just had a really bad year at the plate. Our bad luck.
