Switch to Swish

By: Angie Wiatrowski

The Sox are starting to head back into a slump, which always sucks. However, last time this started Paul Konerko was put on the DL and Nick Swisher took first Base. The Sox were much better off that way and I think we should keep Swisher at first. Chances are slim though, considering how much they pay Konerko to stay at first base, and he’s got nowhere else to go. God knows we can’t use him as a DH. He’s been in a slump and hasn’t really been too beneficial for the team and it’s a little irritating when you have another first baseman on the team that can do a better job, for now at least.
Swisher is even doing better at the plate. He’s hitting .226 while Konerko is hitting .216. It’s not much, but still, we’d be better off with Pauly taking another break for a bit. I love ya Pauly but you’re just not so hot right now.
