I hate to say I told you so but I also don’t shy away from
saying I told you so. I know that may not make sense to some but it makes sense
to me. I hate being right and furthermore I hate being right when it comes to
making moves involving the Yankees. I suggested numerous times in these weekly
check in posts that the Yankees needed to ride out Swisher’s hot streak in the
Major Leagues and not waste it down in Scranton. I said many times that I
believed Swisher would accept another minor league assignment if the Yankees
needed to send him down and I said many, many times that a regression was
coming. The regression is here.
Swisher was seen hitting well over .400 with power when the
drum beating began for his call up and lately he’s been seen hanging below the
Stephen Drew Line of .150. Shoulda, would, coulda Yankees family. The Swisher
with bulky knees that has no power or bat speed that we’ve been hearing about
since the Yankees signed him may finally be rearing his ugly head.
