" 'Every team needs a guy like Swisher,' one American League executive told me recently. 'You watch him play every day and you can see how much he cares. I wish every player cared that much.'
Swisher has been the Yankees’ hottest hitter over the past three weeks, batting .342 with six home runs and 20 RBI since being moved into the No. 2 spot in the lineup on Aug. 8.
The Yankees have made it clear that they plan to be beneath the $189 million luxury-tax threshold by 2014, a task that may prove difficult if they plan to re-sign both Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson, who will be free agents at the end of next season.
That’s why bringing Swisher back makes perfect sense."
I agree. I just hope he starts hitting in the playoffs. As for the $189 million, forget about that.
