• Swisher Consistently Inconsistent?

    Seems [Nick Swisher is] battling overexposure on my television for a whole week, and then I forget he’s even in the league for about three weeks. Witness that he hit .312 in April, .150 in May and is hitting .306 in June. And in case you think that’s a mirage, consider that in 2008 he sandwiched a .315 June with a .176 May and a .193 July. This streakiness is so pronounced that mixed leaguers can probably leave him on their bench until there are signs of a heat-up.

    It’s pretty interesting that Swisher, for the last two years, has been good in April and June and bad in May. (Note to self: Watch for Swisher’s stats this July and see if his pattern from last year continues.)

    When I saw that, I immediately thought of Jason Giambi back in 2006 and back in 2008. What is it with these former Oakland A’s players and this cycle of good month, bad month, that they always seem to go through?

      This would certainly seem to me to be the best way of describing him.
