RBIs are a function of the lineup just as much as the hitter. Where's Swisher going to find 90 RBIs in that lineup?

That was my initial reaction. The thing is all the contracts are insane this off season.

This makes no sense. I think the Tribe is trying to jump-start the team with Swish, much like Washington did a couple of years ago in signing Werth.

This must be management's idea, albeit a bad one, of trying to stay relevant.

I like it. He seems like a good teammate and a Buckeye! We needed to fill Choo's spot so besides Hamilton, he was the best available.
