I was very skeptical of the ‘Swish Nicker’ acquisition in the off season.I was dead wrong though.Guy carried us first month when it was needed and is as hot as can be and is a better all-round hitter & player here now in Sept then when we traded for him.Great trade by Cashman.One of his few.

Yeah I give him credit for working on his D and his attitude couldn’t be more perfect for this team!

I’m just going to say this on the Nady Vs Swisher argument and I will leave it alone….

I believe the numbers Nady would have put up this year would have been closer to last years than his career average for 162 and because of that I think Nady would have had a very valuable season batting 5 in the batting order. However I have always like Nick Swisher (his name doesn’t hurt him) and I am glad he is on the team and have been since the trade went down but I believe Nady as well and think no matter who was starting with both we would have been better off because they compliment each other. One is a contact hitter with some pop and the other is a power hitter who focuses on OBP more than average or contact.

I’m not going to lie, I wanted Swisher over Nady as soon as they signed Tex. I like Nady, but, despite Swisher’s poor ‘08 season, I still felt like I knew what to expect from him. He was going to walk and hit home runs. Good trade for Cashman’s resume.

Haha, I was kidding, Chris. Relax! My head is removed from my backside (for now).

To be entirely honest, I waffled quite a bit on the whole Nick Swisher – Xavier Nady question in spring training.

That about sums it up for me too. I do think he has been a great addition for this team in many ways. One thing not mentioned is; how hard he has been working on his defense…I like that.
