SSH2005 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...tesox-headlines Ryan Sweeney, one of the last cuts of spring training, will play center field as well as right field at Triple-A Charlotte in an effort to improve his versatility. … Corwin Malone, who tried to land a job this spring as a left-handed reliever, will become a starter at Double-A Birmingham.

Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Who was laughed at when this exact comment was brought up during spring training. This is why I am actually knowledgeable when it comes to baseball and the minors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Who was laughed at when this exact comment was brought up during spring training. This is why I am actually knowledgeable when it comes to baseball and the minors <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who was it that laughed at you? Whoever it was should know better, the White Sox have had Sweeney playing a few times in CF the last two spring trainings. He was in LF too. Sox brass thinks he's very close to contributing and they want him comfortable at all three positions. Malone's situation tells me they want to give him lots of innings and consistency.

Heads22 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yeah, Gage, there's plenty of other reasons to laugh at you. Plus, you didn't seem to want to believe me when I said Corwin was starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Its a good move at least for now. I think they want to cover their bases just in case with Anderson and Pods having some question marks, at least for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they want to cover their bases just in case with Anderson and Pods having some question marks, at least for now. Sweeney played CF at times in Winston-Salem after they promoted Brian Anderson that year. I saw him a few times and he was adequate. His speed isn't what you want out there but the instincts were pretty good and that arm is damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
