Nick Swisher Must Be Feeling Swishalicious

Nick Swisher has just been announced to participate in the 2010 Homerun Derby. This comes days after another Yankee, Robinson Cano, withdrew from the competition after concern about his swing and an apparent "back injury". What a high Nick Swisher must be feeling right now.

After a brilliant campaign for the Final Vote in this year's All-Star Game, Nick Swisher trounced Kevin Youkilis from the Red Sox to secure his spot on the American League team. Likewise, Swish has improved his batting tremendously from roughly around .280 to above .300. Now with this latest addition, Nick Swisher is on Cloud 9. However, I can't help but wonder when concerns will emerge to deter Swisher from hitting on Monday night.

Until then, Nick Swisher is participating in the derby. As noted by Mark Feinsand on his twitter page, "Swisher called Girardi, Long and Cashman before agreeing to participate in the Home Run Derby. They all gave him their blessing". 

Congratulations Nick Swisher. Many more blessings to you.
