Thoughts on Swisher so far

[Oatsdad]

I think Swisher might be a good play tonight up against a righty pitcher at home...

0-4 - great call!

I'm going to disagree with that. He doesn't suck, if you're looking for him to carry your team than you suck but he will score some runs and hit for a little power that's all any reasonable person ever wanted from him anyway. He should be owned.

He isn't worth owning unless you're in a league that counts walks, OBP, or if your format is a total points league. In a standard mixed, 5 x5 league, scoring some runs and hitting for a little power is not worth the hit in avg your going to take. Plus he's not going to drive in a ton of runs, and he doesn't steal. I'll let someone else deal with the headache...
