    Swisher will be starting in LF instead of RF. The talk about moving to 1B was hinged on whether or not Frank Thomas was signed, in which case Dan Johnson would be DH, Swisher 1B, and Payton/Kotsay/Bradley starting OF.
    That's correct. Thomas is no lock to be healthy on opening day so you still might see Swish at 1B on opening day.

      Oh, and by the way, in Baseball America's 2006 Prospect Handbook they graded the A's 2002 draft an "A". Both their 2001 (Crosby, Bonderman, Cotts, and Johnson) and 2004 (Street) draft also recieved an "A", while their 2003 draft recieved a "C".
