Wow, an Eliza Dushku mention. I haven’t seen her name since she was in a Kevin Smith movie. She should send you a thank you card for putting her name out there like Georgie Jessel once did to Graig Nettles.

Is Swisher a better centerfielder than Damon?

With these types of questions, I honestly wish the team I rooted for was less popular. We could then weed out some of the stupidest baseball fans on earth.

I’ve noticed over the years, especially after a losing season, that fans are more likely to favor dropping some players who they perceive as having come up short perhaps in some aspect of their game. This year, it is especially Giambi and Abreu, and fans are breathing easier dropping these “perceptible” burdens from the team. The trouble is,
they do this even when there is inadequate replacement for what they want to give up. Giambi was the biggest RBI, HR threat on the Yankees second to Arod. He is obviously superior in that department to Swisher for the next couple of years. Abreu is no slouch as an on-base machine either. Just take a look at the prospective batting order without them right now. it gets boring. Watch how other teams will be waiting with open arms, and money, for these two players.

“but in those years the writers dont get it right, it doesnt render that playerâ€™s season any less great of an achievement.”

That’s true but, in my eyes at least, it doesn’t excuse the writers from getting it wrong.
