    Now that everyone has weighed in, hows about everyone shutting up and let him decide if he belongs in the majors or not.

    That's right, folks. I'm hurt. Or, to be more precise, I'm "hurt." My "hamstring" is giving me a bit of "trouble." The "doctor" recommended that I play a lot of "golf" to "rehab" it. Am I using these quotes correctly?

    We've had a lot of Number 2 on the field over the years. Hopefully, Swanson won't be Number 2.

    Swanson's not ready, I don't care how he performs for the rest of the year. For all I care he could hit .500 with a 1.000 OPS over the next month and a half and it doesn't mean anything. He's not ready and he shouldn't be on the big leaguer roster. We are setting ourselves back 20 years by making this move just like we did rushing Andruw and Heyward to the bigs.

    He could only hit home runs in every single at bat, breaking the single season home run record, and he still wouldn't be ready.

    Looking at the shots of the Swanson family, looked like his dad was just taking it all in. Love seeing those moments.

    Swanson looked good at the plate. His demeanor comes across as a veteran and not a rookie.
