Last year's way too many, 'too-painful-to watch' solo homers just became two and three run shots with this guy, especially in the spring when the weather is horsesh*t and everyone is first-ball swinging. With a little bit of luck, Swisher will come close to a .400 OBP. At the top of this lineup in front of Thome, Konerko and Dye, that's huge. And, THIS guy will be the spokesman for the team and probably, its most popular player. If Ozzie keeps him in left where he belongs and out of center field, Swisher could be there for years.
