| Player Notes |
| May 16, 2008 Nick Swisher is penciled in to bat seventh in the White Sox lineup tonight, according to the Chicago Tribune. |
| May 8, 2008 Nick Swisher went 0-for-4 on Thursday to drop his average to .200 on the season thanks to a 10-for-70 stretch. |
| May 8, 2008 Nick Swisher is hitting sixth in the White Sox order today, according to the Star Tribune. He dropped down in the order, and Alexei Ramirez is batting leadoff. |
| May 5, 2008 After struggling with a .210 average the White Sox have moved Nick Swisher to sixth in the batting order. Orlando Cabrera will hit at the top of the order for the struggling White Sox offense. |
| May 5, 2008 Nick Swisher certainly hasn't helped the White Sox during their recent offensive slumber. The leadoff heater is batting .210 with a .675 OPS through the first month and week of the season. |
| April 29, 2008 Nick Swisher only has five hits over his last 36 at-bats (.139), according to MLB.com. He is only 19-for-86 (.221) overall for the season, with 19 strikeouts. |
| April 26, 2008 Nick Swisher went 2-for-4 with his third home run of the season in the second game of Saturdays doubleheader. |
| April 20, 2008 Nick Swisher is starting at first base for Chicago today, according to The Chicago Tribune. He is moving over from center field in place of Paul Konerko, who was given the day off. |
| April 15, 2008 Nick Swisher will play first base today and bat leadoff for Chicago, according to The Chicago Tribune. Paul Konerko will handle the DH role while Jim Thome sits out. Alexei Ramirez will man center field. |
| April 12, 2008 Contrary to a Friday report on MLB.com , Nick Swisher is at the top of the lineup and playing center field against the Tigers today. |
| April 11, 2008 Nick Swisher will be sidelined for at least the next two days as the team hopes the time off will allow him to heal the sore right hip flexor that has plagued him, this according to MLB.com. This doesn't appear to be a serious issue, at least that's what the club hopes as they are being proactive here. Carlos Quentin will move up into the leadoff spot in place of Swisher. |
| April 8, 2008 Nick Swisher will remain Chicago's leadoff hitter for the foreseeable future, according to the Chicago Tribune. He is hitting 6-for-23 with an eye opening nine walks so far, and Manager Guillen stated, "You have a leadoff hitter who can run, that's a plus. But to be a leadoff hitter, you've got to get on base. You can't steal first. I'd rather be a guy who gets on base, and all of a sudden he gets on base six times in a row by walks." Swisher should score a lot of runs in the potent White Sox offense with Orlando Cabrera, Jim Thome, and Paul Konerko hitting behind him. |
| April 6, 2008 Nick Swisher hit is first home run of the season on Sunday as the White Sox handed the Tigers their sixth straight loss. The solo-shot gave Swisher his first RBI of the season as well. Swisher later singled with the bases loaded to record his second run batted in, and he scored twice in the win. |
| April 3, 2008 Nick Swisher is going to bat lead-off for the White Sox today, according to the Chicago Tribune. Orlando Cabrera is going to move down to the number two spot. Swisher collected two hits and two runs over the first two games of the season against Cleveland. |
| March 31, 2008 Nick Swisher recorded two hits and scored twice in his White Sox debut. Swisher will hit leadoff for the Sox while Jerry Owens recovers from an injury that's landed him on the disabled list. |
| March 27, 2008 Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen announced on Wednesday afternoon that Nick Swisher will bat leadoff and play center field most of the time while Jerry Owens recovers from a small tear of the right adductor muscle, notes the Chicago Tribune. This is somewhat of a surprise, and owners that expected to have Swisher in the meat of the order could see him return to that role when Owens is scheduled to return from the disabled list, April 9th. |
| February 29, 2008 If Jerry Owens ends up out of the lineup, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he's seriously considering batting Nick Swisher in the leadoff spot over Orlando Cabrera, according to the Chicago Tribune. "If we're going to think about Orlando and Swisher hitting leadoff, I'd rather have Swisher because Orlando handles the bat a lot better than he does," Guillen said. Owens is going to have to earn his playing time and currently is sidelined by a sore groin, so things could change at the top of the lineup early this season. |
| January 4, 2008 How the rest of the White Sox's roster shapes up will determine exactly what position Nick Swisher will spend most of his time at next season, but GM Kenny Williams has told the slugger he'll likely spend the bulk of his time in center field, according to the Chicago Tribune. Assuming that happens, Carlos Quentin and Jerry Owens will likely compete for time in left. Although there are other questions that still need to be answered, as well. Such as what the team plans to do with Alexei Ramirez and where Josh Fields will play if Joe Crede isn't dealt. |
| January 3, 2008 The White Sox acquired Nick Swisher from the A's on Thursday in exchange for Gio Gonzalez, Ryan Sweeney and Fautino De Los Santos, according to the AP. Swisher will likely handle center field for the Pale Hose, meaning Jerry Owens would be relegated to a backup role. |
