Every year, a few hitters either come out of nowhere or regain their former swing to have a solid season, and 2010 is no exception. Let’s take a look at three hitters from the American League East that are having very nice seasons.
Luke Scott- OF- Baltimore Orioles
Stuck on one of the worst teams in baseball and no one around him for help, Scott has put together a nice season. Hitting .289 with 20 homers and 47 ribbies (would be many more if the O’s could some runners on base in front of him), Scott could be nice pickup if you need another outfielder. Beware this week though. The O’s will be on the road, where Scott is hitting just .222, compared to .344 at home.
Adrian Belte- 3B- Boston Red Sox
If Luke Scott had a decent hitting team around him, he would be producing numbers like Beltre is. The Sox’s third-sacker has turned things back around to have a very nice comeback season. He is hitting .336 with 20 homers and 75 RBI this year in Boston. The one isue that could slow some of these numbers down is the loss of Kevin Youkilis for the rest of the season to thumb surgery.
Nick Swisher- OF- New York Yankees
Swisher is enjoying the Big Apple this season. Swisher is hitting .297 with 22 homers and 66 RBI this year. He and the rest of the Bronx Bombers will be on the road much of this week, where Swisher is hitting .302.
