Nick Swisher Lives!

Finally he got off his ass yesterday and hit 2 HR. That after going 4 for his last 30. Luckily it was an off day for a few of my regulars, or else Swisher would have been riding the bench as he has for the past few weeks.

So do you think he is finally coming out of his slump? Or just a lucky day and he will continue to be a dissapointment?

i'll believe it when i see it...let's see him put together a strong week or so, then i might pick him back up...this guy has really dissappointed people this season after his year last year.

I share your celebration. I have stuck with Swisher during this extended slump which has gone on for over a month. In that period, up until last night, he had 9 R, 1 HR, 6 RBI, so it was a really bad slump. His BA was below 0.170 over that same month. I think he's going to get much better from here on in, simply because he's a very good hitter and very good hitters come out of these troughs eventually. If I recall correctly, Swisher raked in the last couple months in 2006 - no reason he shouldn't do the same this year.
