SCCWS Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Somebody who did not research his first tour of duty here. With such a small financial cost attached, there’s a good chance at least one team will explore adding Swisher as a bench bat and a veteran clubhouse presence. An AL team is more likely than an NL team for Swisher since senior circuit clubs wouldn’t have the benefit of the DH spot to preserve his knees. This is just my speculation, but the White Sox stand out as a team that could use some first base/DH depth now that Adam LaRoche has retired. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/03/brav...ck-swisher.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Maybe my least favorite White Sox player ever, and I don't see the fit anyway. Even if he had something left in the tank, he hits LHP much better than RHP, which is the opposite of what we need at DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 They couldn't wait to get rid of him before, so I can't see them having much interest now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 As quickly as they got rid of him, I can't see the Sox being interested in bringing him back, even if it is at minimum wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Jack29 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Swisher is in the twilight of his career, and he's a jackass to boot. No thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I have no problems with Swisher as a person, it's his s***ty batting stats that make the idea of him returning laughable to me. I would take Ishikawa/Sands over Swisher any day. Edited March 28, 2016 by BlackSox13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I'd rather have Carlos Quentin over Swisher. Swish is garbage and not an asset in any way. That being said, both are very far down any list of FA I'd explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Yes, he'd be a great backup at DH and 1B. At the league min it's a no brainer over Ishikawa or Sands or Shuck. edit: Eh I dunno, on second thought he's probably not enough of an upgrade to take on his s*** personality. Screw it. Got on base last year at an OK clip but power has absolutely cratered. If he just got cut probably means his health is an issue again.

Jose Abreu Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It's not about his personality, it's about his horrible, below-Mendoza-line batting. No thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) It will never, ever, ever, ever happen, but I will say the problems were with Greg Walker and somewhat Ozzie, but I don't think it was a player issue, more coaches, who are all gone. Kenny is still here and he wasn't a fan of his either after he got here. It won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Jack29 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 28, 2016 -> 08:05 PM) Swisher's tenure here was essentially an episode of blue balls with a great looking woman that we didn't get to seal the deal on. We were very excited about the chance we had (the acquisition) as he had great assets (power and OBP) but the foreplay (time prior to the season) was ultimately the best part of the experience. Then we pushed her away and she went to the better looking guy and they had lots of good times together. In the end, beauty doesn't last forever. Not only better-looking, but wealthier as well.
