Best Righty Swing - Your Vote Please
A friend and I were talking about the best swings in baseball and the majority of hitters were lefties. When we said nicest, we meant most asthetically pleasing, not necessarily most productive, although they seem to go hand in hand. Adrian Gonzalez started off the conversation, but it quickly covered such hitters as Robinson Cano, Chase Utley, JD Drew (the ball might not go anywhere, but it is a pretty swing) and Joe Mauer.
Of course the recently retired and HOFers of years past entered the mix as well.
So I'll pose this: Who has the nicest right-handed swing in baseball right now (active player)?
Please post your reply in the comments.
My answer at the beginning of the year would have been Manny Ramirez, but he is no longer active, so back to the drawing board.

A-Rod, especially when he can extend his hands.

Good one Mitchell.
If we aren't disallowing switch hitters, Chipper Jones has a nice swing from the right (and left).
As far as all ugly swings, Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis are both that.

Ugly? I think that Craig Counsell can be added to the top of the ugly list with Pedey and Youk. I also think that Damon's stance is more than a little weird when he's in the box but not quite as weird/ugly as Youk or Counsell.

Oops, but Counsell bats lefty and so does Damon.
(sigh)
My error.
(PS - can anyone tell me why Noesi is on the 25 man roster? Girardi would rather put Sanit in with a 5 run lead than Noesi, so I don't get it. Inquiring minds want to know.)
