Great play by Swisher just now. 3 strikeouts for the day and then he was just amazing warming the bench in the bottom of the 9th while Dickerson pinch-hit for him and set up a game tying 2 run HR.
At least we're not overpaying for that bench-warming.
I guess you forgot the rest of what I wrote at the end of last year.
A bigger concern is that he's owed $15m in each of the next 3 years, and he's definitely on the decline.
My point then was that his performance in last year's regular season was easily worth his salary for that year, but the rest of the contract would be much harder for him to live up to. And here we are, a year later, with his salary being higher than the first year of the deal and his production declining precipitously.
