Sweeney
Fosse and Kuip actually hit the nail on the head for once, Sweeney’s swing is looking shorter these days and it’s encouraging to see. For all the talk about Ryan’s long swing, nobody talks about Ellis’ absolutely horrible swing. While it may be short and quick, it’s incredibly loopy and as such he hits an incredible amount of weak popups and grounders. This may be unpopular but I wouldn’t shed a single tear if Ellis were to leave in the offseason, good defense be damned!

Ellis has been a pretty effective hitter for a 2B. He's probably been our best player the last few years.
Does it matter what his batting form is like?

swing looks like?

He’s not likely to change his swing now though. We should just get him mentally ready to play.

Form? No. Production? Absolutely.
He was below average in 2006 and is again this year. And his defense doesn’t stand to improve any. He’s an ok player to have around, but I’m not sure he’s worth $7 mil per year.
by thejd44 on Aug 7, 2008 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
What is he getting this year?
5 million.
That would have to be his max if he stays, one would think
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
by Trainman on Aug 7, 2008 5:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's worth that, but probably only for 2 years.
I think 2 years, team option for a third at $5 mil per is good. I dunno if he’ll take that.
by thejd44 on Aug 7, 2008 5:49 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hmmm....what's the competition...
Dodgers, Giants, Padres, Astros, Cardinals, Royals, Indians, Mariners?

This is exactly the time this is bad. We’re saving Ziggy for a save situation, and we should be putting him in right now—High Leverage multiple inning work. Instead we’re saving him for a lead that may/probably will not come.

I'm sorry folks
but I think Bob Geren is sorely lacking in managerial skills. Duke should have started the inning at the very least and no way I’m letting Blevins stay in with the bases loaded, especially after he has shown barely any control. WTF?????
Maybe it’s just me but I want the A’s to hire a real mananger. Beane, stop being such a penny pincher and buddy-buddy favorite and hire a manger with some G-damend big league credentilas….....As I wrote this the Jays just scored another run…....fuck!

I don’t have a problem with pulling him after 101 pitches when he has been laboring. The only thing keeping Blevins in at that point was Inglett and Wilkerson being lefty. Blame: Blevins, not Geren.
