Before taking Swisher evaluate your team. If you already seems weak in batting average, it's best to avoid him. However, if you have someone like a Joe Mauer, Ichiro, or Derek Jeter to help solidify your average, and need help in the power categories, Swisher is a very good option. .250-85-30-85-0 in 500 at bats

Positives / Upside	He is a hardnosed player who will give you 100%. Unfortunately, that means nothing in the world of fantasy baseball. However, Swisher still makes for a productive fantasy option. He should be able to approach 30 homeruns again hitting from the left side in new Yankee Stadium, and will score plenty of runs and drive in a bunch as well in the vaulted Yanks line-up.
Negatives / Downside	Swisher's batting average will kill you. His poor average negates the value he provides in the power categories. He walks a ton, allowing him to maitain a very good OBP, but that doesn't mean much in standard fantasy leagues. He is classic example of a guy who is a more valuable baseball player than a fantasy baseball player.
