So there you go.

Yes, I called it. I love it.

SOURCE11!!??!

 

Usually someone asks.

 

Just remember everyone, if he's struggling (which I consider inevitable), this is one of our top offensive prospects.

Thank God. Cintron made me puke.

Ah, someone beat me to it.

 

Take his word, son.

After staring into the eyes of Stavo, I now know it's true...

In the original Thome injury thread , I said he'd go on the 15 day DL and Williams wouldn't go outside the organization citing the Toby Hall example. I heard the Sweeney news on Comcast.

Well if this is true then I hope Ozzie starts him in LF everyday for the next 15 games or so while Mack and Ozuna platoon at DH.

 

If they're going to start the arbitration clock, they better not have him sitting on the bench stunting his development. I really don't think he's ready, but might as well use him and see. Maybe he could at least take Anderson's spot when Thome gets back.

 

Let's just hope he doesn't get on Ozzie's bad side.

I think the only real offensive prospect in the Sox system is Cunningham. I don't mean to bash Sweeney, but he's struggling in AAA. And even if he weren't, it's not like he'll be a better hitter than Mackowiak. The Sox system is very weak, and if they want to compete they should really trade for an OF that can hit. They'll need one next season anyway.

I need no source.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But Rotoworld will back me up.

Can't hurt at this point.

Are you ready for the era of terra? If so... it is Sweeney Time!

 

 

 

(give me a minute while a take out my good ole Sweeney sig)

I just want to see someone, just someone put the ball in play like as in a line drive with 2 strikes with men on. This striking out crap has to stop.

bout time.

Let him play.

We need a change. I don't care if he hits .145 like BA.

Let him play for 3 weeks. If he's hitting .145, then he can be the next

prospect to flame.

there we go...

 

vvv

Thank God. Cintron made me puke.

 

Prepare to puke some more, becuase Cintron will still see a lot of playing time. Ozzie said that the players who are here now will get more playing time than whoever got called up. It makes no sense at all, but that's what he said and it doesn't suprise me.

It's only April dude.

Yuk, Oz please play him.

Our current bats suck. We need some life in the outfield.

That particular individual was announced as Ryan Sweeney by manager Ozzie Guillen after Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Angels. Thome will be placed on the 15-day disabled list prior to Sunday's series finale, when Sweeney's callup will become official.

Incoming beginning of Sweeney's arb. clock via sitting on the bench!! Ozzie makes no sense sometimes, play him in LF, we already have an OFer designated to take up space on the bench.

You know how I've felt about the system in the past, and even I observe some signs of encouragement in the pitching department.

 

Only way we're combating the future rotation of divisional opponents is either by producing a legion of #2/#3 starters, or hoping an x-factor emerges. Someone acquired via trade or from within the system who comes out of nowhere.

 

Far as Sweeney, if nothing else, his swing is fluid and it will be a welcomed change from previous hitting prospects.

Anderson is never going to have a career with the Sox, Sweeney should have a pretty long one.
