Frankensteiner Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Swisher has been the biggest bust on the team this year (by far). What an awful month and a half. Edited May 11, 2008 by Frankensteiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an awful month and a half. He was great the first two weeks. His swing from the left side is atrocious. He can't hit it hard because his hands get so far out in front of him.

Frankensteiner Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 These innings are a little easier to stomach when they go in order like they did just there. It's weak but at least you don't see the bacon streaks on their pants when they have to hit with runners on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am starting to worry a little that he might have been on the juice. I mean his HR numbers already fell off last year. And I've been seeing a lot of warning track power this season.

BearSox Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 so far the only things that have made the Swisher and Cabrera trade's "stomach-able" has been the facts that Contreras has somehow not been awful, and none of Garland, Sweeney, DLS, or Gio have done much either. However, Sweeney has just barely outperformed Swisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, hopefully OC improves in order to lock up the A slot for draft comp. Yes, that's good, but he can't strike anyone out anymore it looks like. Only 12 K's in over 50 innings of pitching. He's never been a big K guy, but that is pitiful. He's on pace for about 50 for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) I already see it as a for-gone conclusion that Thome will be back with us next season... however, I hope next year we have Quentin in the 3-hole, with Thome in the 5 hole (with some righty on the bench who kills lefties to platoon with him).
