May 21, 200718 yr QUOTE(greg775 @ May 20, 2007 -> 07:35 PM) Now that we've sent Sweeney down, would it be too much to ask of Mack to step up? Mack needs to produce. If he does what he has over his career, we'll be happy with him, and also it would be nice if others, specifically Konerko, would begin hitting as well.
May 21, 200718 yr Thome is up and that's good for this team. Sweenye went down and that's OK because you know that he will most likely be up for good later this year or to start 2008. Nobody seemed to complain a whole lot last year about Ozuna and Mack was a good acquisition. Pods is the LF'er on this team for 07 and will be again when back from the DL. But, I don't expect him here in 08.

But we have limited options in that area and I agree with Sweeney getting more playing time in AAA and hopefully working on his weak spots. Eventually we'll see him in a White Sox uniform again later this year or next.
May 21, 200718 yr QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ May 20, 2007 -> 08:31 PM) If Anderson was considered ready, why not Sweeney? Anderson isn't ready since he is in AAA currently. It took a year + to fully see it, even though Sox Talk saw it in 2 months of last season.
May 21, 200718 yr For now, it's just going to be a platoon, and let's just hope one of those guys can get going some. If we're still talking about no production from our LF spot in a month or so, I'd consider giving one of the minor leaguers - Sweeney or Anderson - a chance to regrab a starting job in LF.

May 21, 200718 yr I still think Anderson is the better CF option over Erstad most days of the week. Ok maybe only 4 out of 7 but still.
May 21, 200718 yr Sweeney has some adjustments to make still. Any ChiSox fan can see that at this point, even the most pro-Sweeney ones out there. Luckily we all know he WILL be back up here, and he has a pretty damn good chance of becoming a solid MLB caliber player for us in LF.
