He’s walking and striking out more or less at his career rate. Swisher’ll be fine;

LD%: 24 (19 career)
GB%: 35 (36)
FB%: 41 (45)
BB%: 14 (13)
K%: 26 (25)

For the most part, Swisher’s hitting at his career levels, save for more line drives, and a little less fly balls. He’s walking and striking out more or less at his career rate.

They aren't world beaters. Lots of room for improvement and lots of room to bitch. They are still in the hunt and actually things could be a lot worse. Don't think this is a career year for Grandy--his '07 season is still tops. I don't hold out too much hope for Jeter or Jorge long term, but hopefully, Alex gets hot again--and he's been better lately. I think it's up to Tex and Cano to lead them now. And yeah, they gotta get something out to Swish. 24) I understand. They aren’t world beaters. Lots of room for improvement and lots of room to bitch.

Cano is not the natural so far this year. He is lunging and swinging at balls. His defense has also been a little suspect. Arod has not been the same since his oblique injury, or was it his hip? Tex seems very ordinary at bat, his defense remains remarkable. Jeter is particularly infuriating. He rarely drives the ball, and instills no confidence to hit in the clutch at the moment. He gets to the balls he can reach, but that range... Swish is lost and pressing. I hope he can turn it around. Posada might just turn it around. If it wasn't for the really good starting pitching, the remarkable performances of Robertson and Joba, and Mo being Mo; Granderson having a career year, Martin being solid, and Gardner now hitting...this team would be in big trouble. On the optimistic side, there is a lot of room for improvement, and yet the team is in first place. [18] Now Alex, the rank and file are only grumbling because of the current reality.
