Most people will agree that Yankee Stadium is a homerun hitters park. However, explain it to Nick Swisher.
At Yankee Stadium, Swisher is garbage. One of the worst players I have EVER seen. [This may explain why I don't really care for him, since I see a lot of him at the stadium]. He has a .200 BA, .373 OBP, and a .309 SLG. His OPS is .682. He has his a total of three homers at Coors East.
.309 Slugging? Are you f***ing serious? Even I could do that in the Majors.
However...
On the road...this guy is an MVP candidate. He boasts a .285 BA, .366 SLG, and a .618 SLG. With 19 homers [20, since he hit one tonight], this guy would lead the leage in homers if he played the whole season on the road.
In all the years I've watched baseball, I've never seen this kind of disparity with a hitter, especially when the expected outcome would be reversed.
Either way...how the f*** did we get this guy for Wilson Betemit? Wilson f***ing Betemit. Are you serious? Serious props to Cashman...for once.
