I hope Sweeny doesn’t get a “injury prone” tag. but he’s done very well when hes in the lineup. as for Gonzalez. you go through slumps. and he’s in one. Some time on teh bench, let yourself refresh. Plus I’m sure he’s tired, being his first year.

I think it was the right move for everyone. Sweeney has been batting well and deserves to come off the DL in Oakland. C-Gon has been really struggling at the plate, and playing in the AAA post season might jack up his confidence. Or we could see him later in September. I like what Raj Davis has done since he got some regular playing time. Great hitting and great fielding–that was a great catch last night. Eat your hears out, Giants!

Ideally he probably should have been playing at AAA all season (perhaps a September callup). but I don’t think he’ll be worse for the experience.

It’s unexpected to me to see Gonzalez sent down. But at the same time, except for Thomas, I think everybody’s been down there this year for at least a couple games.

I don’t know if he’d be back or not, as Sac-town is in a post-season push mode. And having Gonzalez be successful in a pressure rush like that would probably do more than having him do sort of OK in games that have no meaning.
