NASHVILLE, Tenn. — While the Red Sox have continued interest in free agent Nick Swisher, an industry source has indicated the first baseman/outfielder may wait until fellow free agent Josh Hamilton agrees to a deal before signing with a team.

Though the Red Sox signed catcher/first baseman Mike Napoli to a three-year, $39 million deal on Monday, the move has not taken them out of the running for Swisher, who hit .272/.364/.473 with 24 homers and 93 RBI last season for the Yankees.

    Does Swisher foolishly think he’s in the same class as Hamilton?

    Ben talk with Victorino and Swisher–I would prefer two switch hitters that can play Center and RF well rather than one JHam. You’re spending about the same amount–2 for 1. Then sign a good pitcher and come home.

    If I was the Yankees I would let Nick Swisher sign with someone else.  He is very poor when it comes to  post season play.  The Yankees need to sign a player that will produce good numbers all year long.  If I was the Yankees I would sign Josh Hamiliton who can produce and I would move my other out fielders around to accomodate a player like Josh Hamilton.

     N Swisher is not even a journeymen player;  harmless bat,  good arm and smooth as sandpaper in the field.  How he got as far as he has is a mystery.
