He's not. Hits just aren't dropping for him.
I agree that Swisher is better than he's playing, I just don't get the above premise.
I think the premise is that Swish has hit an absurd # of warning track shots, but has just 4 homers, and that if he just pulled the ball a little more, or had a slightly more favorable wind, some of those warning track shots would have been [additional] homers, and that going forward if he continues to hit the ball as he has, some additional homers will likely occur.
Then again maybe whatever has affected HRs in the AL in general this year has hit him particularly hard.
Then again maybe whatever is preventing the Whitesox opponents from hitting homers has hit Swish particularly hard, and when Swish gets untracked, so will the Sox opposing hitters...
2007: 2.47 HR per Sox Home game, 2.02 per Sox Road Game
2008: 1.87 HR per Sox Home Game, 1.62 per Sox road game
Not only that, but tracking warning track shots between ballparks is really rather ugly. Wind patterns, weather, wall distances, all that.
