He'll wait forever if he expects something like that. Werth was at least thought to have plus power 30 home runs, and speed, with a strong throwing arm. Swisher would have to be considered more of a 20 HR guy with average defence, and nothing special in terms of an arm.
You'd have to think teams would have learned something from Vernon Wells and Carl Crawford.
Of course your point that Swisher will look for a huge offer, and likely get overpaid does still stand.
