on his belly.

Sweeney is at best a 4th OFer on a major league team. He is a big slow guy (6'4" 240) with 14 HRs in 1800 PA's. Coco Crisp has more pop than that.

He has no career norms. He is just starting out. E1, for a guy who preaches patience about prospects and letting them develop, I am surprised that you are touting his first 400 plate appearance as indicative of his ceiling and that you are so willing to throw him under the bus on that basis. Most players first 400 PAs are not very good. They are just learning. I am also struck by the inconsistent and contradictory stance taken by many with regard to closers. I am not aiming this at you. I don't recall your stance on this. When the Sox let Papelbon (future Red Sox Hall of Famer) walk for FA money, people said that other than Mo, there are no special closers. Basically, people argued that they were highly fungible. When Cherries got Bailey, they sung his praises despite his injury problems and the fact that he only pitched 1 maybe 2 complete seasons. Cherries was lauded for pulling off such a trade. Now, Reddick is the A's number 3 hitter in the lineup with 13 jacks and Bailey, the injury prone fungible closer is on the DL. Let's call a spade a spade.

That was thrilling. He is hitting some bombs this year. He's hitting longer HRs than anyone else on the team.

Love that Dirty Water!!!
-
Yes!!!! Yes!!!! SAlty!!!!! Much more than adequate!!! We were due for a walk off. Maybe this will light a fire under this team!!!
-
Why give up an out when this guy just walked a batter?
-
Okay that is what Nava does best. WTF Punto?
-
Nava needs to redeem his bone head play in the OF
-
Still gagging. I can't control it. It's an emotional thing. He's like a little third grader batting against a moose that throws 98 mph.

The bottom three coming up for us against Rodney in the 9th.
-
Idiot is a remark that we should reserve for managers, announcers and umpires, not each other. Idiot umpire on that called third strike.
-
Peralta is a pig, but he keeps eating our lunch.
-
Miller has been lights out in this role. SSF, what did you see in him that made you think he had found something?
-
And that is exactly why I don't want Lin playing CF with AGon in RF. I don't need some over enthusiastic kid running over one of my stars. BTW: Lin bats second in the 8th.
-
We have three innings to get them. Price is at 96 pitches. We are seeing him pretty good right about now.
-
Stupid play cost us. Also, if they are not in the shift, that is a routine groundball to second base. There's a reason why Abner Doubleday lined up the defenders in the traditional way.
-
There is an open base.
-
Minor league skills and a minor league head.
-
Stupid play.
-
A k or popup would be great, but I could live with a DP.
-
It would be great if Beckett could hand the lead to Aceves in the 9th.
-
He has a couple of hundred on offense and defense?
