The guy is the second coming of Jose Valentin. Avg to bad outfielder and infielder, avg power and typical batting average numbers with an obp. He also only hits .250 against right handed pitching despite his switch-hitting capabilities, and he is terribly slow. On a team with so many question marks and rotation problems, I don't see why you would give up one of the best AL pitching prospects around for an average guy like Swisher. Average? His OPS+ the last two years was 125 an 127 He is 27, and has a small salaried, long term contract. BTW Jose Valentine best year hitting was 116 OPS+ You post is what I like to call incorrect. And the supposed knowledgable White Sox fanbase is what I like to call overrated. I think Mugged By Fluffy was pulling quotes from Sox fans...
