I'm genuinely curious how many on the board would be in favor of sending Swanson down for a few weeks, at minimum, to re-set his mind and re-focus his glove and his bat in the dimmer lights of AAA. And if some aren't in favor yet, when is the cut-off? We're a week into June, and he's still batting below .200, so if the answer isn't "now", I'm assuming it's "never" (at least as far as 2017 is concerned).

For the record: I'm skeptical the team would actually send Swanson down from Cobb County, even given his shaky start in the field and abysmal performance at the plate, because they pinned so much on him this season and don't want to shoot Gudetama all over their faces. But I still think it's a worthwhile discussion.

I see what u did there
 
The mood on Swanson went from "he needs to be sent down to AAA" to "our SS rules and will hit .280 with 15+ bombs" in the matter of 1 page lol.

I've never said send him down. This team isn't fighting for the playoffs... I want him learning in Atlanta.
