Whether you think Sweeney is going to help the Phillies or not, what this move represents is the Phillies doing whatever it takes to win. If they need something,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they go out and get it.
They have moved into the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox category of World Series or bust every year.
NOTE: The reason Sweeney could be traded was because he passed through waivers.
Unlike the New York Mets, if the Phillies have a need, they do whatever it takes to fill it.
Sweeney had a .267/.327/.425 hitting line with the Mariners with seven HR’s. Sweeney is far removed from his offensive glory days with the Kansas City Royals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but should be a decent option every now and then for Charlie Manuel’s club over the next 15 days.
Manchester United was formed in 1878 by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath as Newton Heath LYR Football Club. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league. However, following the league dissolution after just one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with the Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892 to 93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company and dropped the LYR from its name. After just two seasons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the club was relegated to the Second Division.
Yesterday I wrote that it wouldn’t surprise me to see the Philadelphia Phillies go out and acquire a first baseman if they thought Ryan Howard would be out longer than 15 days. I thought they would go out and get a player like Mike Lowell, Adam LaRoche, or Casey Kotchman.
You can follow The Ghost of Moonlight Graham on Twitter at theghostofmlg Newton Heath initially played on a field on North Road,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], close to the railway yard. the original capacity was about 12,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000, but club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club hoping to join The Football League. Some expansion took place in 1887,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and in 1891 Newton Heath used its minimal financial reserves to purchase two grandstands, each able to hold 1,000 spectators. Although attendances were not recorded for many of the earliest matches at North Road, the highest documented attendance was approximately 15,000 for a First Division match against Sunderland on 4 March 1893. A similar attendance was also recorded for a friendly match against Gorton Villa on fifth September 1889.
Well, the Phillies didn’t acquire any of those guys or Kotchman, but they acquired Kotchman’s teammate. The Phillies acquired 1B/DH Mike Sweeney from the Seattle Mariners yesterday for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
