DBAHO Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 10:07 AM) The mistake was the first Swisher trade. Sweeney and Anderson could be platooning in CF and that would be that. Ozzie can't stand called third strikes- of course, if you're going to take walks, you're going to have your share of called 3rd strikes. Guillen didn't like Swisher, so Williams had to get something for him and he did. That's the thing, the Sox want to have more of these OBP guys, and players like Podsednik and Swisher who did get on base, definitely had their share of the called 3rd strike on them. The key is, the Sox need to find good OBP hitters, but not ones with a .240 AVG like Nick Swisher put up last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
