JohnCangelosi Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I just couldn't help myself...what is the love affair with Sweeney in this forum? To me he has ALWAYS looked like a left handed version of Brian Anderson. For now, I am going to refer to him as Brian Sweeney until he proves me wrong...

AddisonStSox Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) ...even for me, that's going to far. This kid has had a near-picture-perfect swing since he entered the system and has had under 50 big-league at-bats. Methinks this is far too small of a sample size to be making any comparisons to anyone--let alone Brian Anderson.

Incidently, would John Cangelosi consider a comeback as our standing LF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) Sweeney didn't look good flailing away on some of Escobar's picthes, but I only saw the game last night from the 5th inning on. But, that was too much to take also. I think we just want to get this slump over with so bad that anyone and everyone looks bad. The kid has a good future, but I think Brian Anderson does too. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later. Edited May 5, 2007 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Sweeney kind of reminded me of Mackowiak at the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnes Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I agree that he looked absolutely terrible against Escobar-- especially the last AB that he had. But I'll wait to make judgments until he's gotten at least a little bit comfortable on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 5, 2007 -> 10:44 PM) Sweeney kind of reminded me of Mackowiak at the plate. How he is hitting so far, yeah. But overall, they don't match at all. Also, Sweeney is a much different player then Anderson as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
