How Hard Should We Swing?

Supposing that a batter is using the right mechanics...

Should a batter swing as hard as he can in order to be a powerful hitter? I've seen some major leaguers hit "bombs" that looks that they aren't even trying.

How tight should we hold the bat? Does it help to keep our hands lose or not? I heard Arod said that you can slip the bat out of his hands when he's hitting.

Regards,
TZ
