Fantasy Analysis
There were rumors of the Yankees being interested in Carlos Beltran, which they could always add in free agency, but Swisher is looking the like starting right fielder for next year. Swisher should still be considered as a potential middle-round option on Draft Day in 2012. Keep tabs on the Yankees offseason moves as it could affect Swisher's value. (Updated 10/29/2011).

Moneyball is long gone and the A's are in a constant state of rebuilding. But what are they building for? Scott Miller looks at a ravaged roster of no-names and wonders when -- if ever -- Oakland will turn serious about contending.
Nick Swisher has confounded Fantasy owners with a wildly fluctuating batting average in recent years, but he has proven to be a reliable source of mid-range power and solid run production. Last season was no exception, as Swisher registered his sixth consecutive campaign with at least 20 home runs and 80 runs scored. He has also played at least 150 games in each one of those seasons, so owners can count on Swisher to be durable. While he may not wow you with elite-level numbers, Swisher's overall consistency makes him an attractive choice as a late-round pick in standard mixed leagues, as owners will have a good idea of what they are getting.
