So Hanigan return is approaching quickly, as the season continues to get closer to another lost year.
Swihart is posting a 53 wRC+ created, and a .562 OPS. Bad numbers, but he's been slightly better in June posting a .641 OPS & a wRC+ of 77. So has he shown enough on offense AND defense that's earned the starting spot even when Hanigan returns? Maybe you think he should be the back up instead? Or should he just be sent back to AAA with Leon remaining as the back up to Hanigan. Personally, I think the season is circling the drain, so I don't see the harm in continuing to let him adjust in the bigs, but I haven't watched many games this season so maybe he looks REALLY bad in games RE: his approach at the plate and on defense and I'm just not seeing it.
