Sweeney signs with Giants.

[otis89]

From Rotoworld:

Mark Sweeney has agreed to a two-year, $1.8 million contract with the Giants, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The Giants could platoon Sweeney and Lance Niekro at first base and get pretty reasonable production, but they'll probably keep looking for another left-handed-hitting first baseman, allowing Sweeney to be used primarily as a pinch-hitter. Sweeney hit .294/.395/.466 in 221 AB for the Padres last season.

Sweeney - 2 years, 1.8 million

Neifi - 2 years, 5 million

 

I know this happens every time a bench player signs but, just in case anyone's blocked it out...

Rubby owns sweeney.

Sweeney I think is worth the extra 800k over Mabry although both would be nice and we dont have to get into the Perez and Macias mess.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Rubby owns m4d.

I laughed out loud when I saw both of the "repairs". :lol:

This very well may be the best value offseason signing.

[abuck1220]

sweeney at 900 k sure beats mabry at 1 mil.

[CubbieSouthpaw]

sweeney at 900 k sure beats mabry at 1 mil.

 

But 1M is easier to add then 900K on your fingers and toes.

I want to break my head open when anyone compares Neifi's contract to just about anyone elses.

Jeff DaVanon was designated for assignment today by the Angels. Any interest in him for the bench? Good OBP, good speed.

DaVanon?

 

Yes please.

[Mark Priors Calves]

DaVanon?

 

Yes please.

 

Agreed. I think he'd be a nice addition to the bench. He gets on base at a decent rate but his power numbers are putrid for an OF.

He'd be nice to have around as the pinch running specialist.
