First of all, your consideration of Nick Swisher is unjust. He has had one of the better OPS since 2005 and has been a 25-homer, 25-doubles threat every year. He is worth about a hundred walks and puts up a respectable OBP. In fact, his OBP the past five years has been better than: -Jason Varitek -Mike Lowell -Jacoby Ellsbury and studs: -Coco Crisp -Julio Lugo Read Moneyball, pick a better statistic than batting average, and win another 23. Oh yeah, we got Tex. Cheers. Gotta love having Swisher and Texiera. First of all, your consideration of Nick Swisher is unjust.
