Never Go Against the Family, Doug: Mientkiewicz Takes a Few Shots at Nick Swisher on Twitter
Baseball July 13th. 2009, 9:30am
Add this to the list of subplots (Torre, Jeff Weaver, Manny’s New York-ties) should the Dodgers and Yankees meet in the World Series: Doug Mientkiewicz, who is on his sixth team in six seasons, thinks ladies-man Nick Swisher is a “turd,” “way way overrated” and “not a superstar.” [It is High, it is Far, it is Caught]

I don’t know anything about being a turd, but he is correct about the other stuff. If X hadn’t gotten hurt, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Swisher playing in Scranton right now.

I don’t think anyone rates Swisher high enough to be “overrated”. Sounds like Dougie’s jealous that someone is getting attention simply because he’s in a big media market.

who is overrating swisher?

Pretty much. I really want to know who these people are. Honestly, who the hell has ever referred to Nick Swisher as a “superstar”?

who is overrating swisher?
This is going to be a very slow week if this is what our comments are going to revolve around.
TBL, what happened to your movie a week posts?

Are we sure this is really Doug Mientkewicz? I hate twitter.
And if it is, if Mientkewicz is merely a journeyman as you imply, Swisher is surely on his way to being in the same boat.

Kenny Williams overrated Swisher last season by trading anything other than a bag of balls for him…lowest batting average in all of MLB for players who qualified for the batting title
But he’s a lot of fun to have in the clubhouse though and you can’t put a price on shaving cream pies to the face and fart jokes so I guess he’s worth every penny

Its better to be overrated than just a known pile of crap like Malphabet.
I guess he’s talking about the beginning of the yar when Swish was on a tear.
